Re: Time & CmdSchedule

That's fine with me.  I think Jason & the world is too SQL-happy anyways.
But, there is some functionality that will be lost by using native cron,
that I'm not sure we're willing to give up.  Also maintaining the crontab
file will be a pain in the butt (it's going to get really big)

Oh, Jason, I think it would be really nice to have a comment field in the
CmdSchedule table.
