Best method to call WCF services at interval

I have several WCF services and I want to execute methods in them at specific intervals.

For example, call Service1.DoSomeWork every 5 minutes and Service2.DoSomeWork every 10 minutes. I also want Windows client applications to be able to call the DoSomeWork methods at any time.

What is the best way to implement this?

I have complete control over the server so using Scheduled Tasks is possible but I wonder if using a Workflow in AppFabric is better or using a timer in the service itself?

Check out this post. I answered a question a while ago where the developer want to "Do something" at an interval in a windows service. I gave a pretty detailed code sample for scheduling activity within a Windows Service as recommended by other posted earlier in this thread.

I'm not familiar with AppFabric but if I were you, I will use the timer since your requirement sounds simple.
