As a user I want an easy, well laid out GUI that I can quickly
modify the following (which I think we are already close to):
o Add, modify, delete cron and at jobs (of course)
o Use a 3 step wizard/druid to quickly create cron/at jobs (see
Juliens earlier post on exacts specs)
o Offer pluggins (I am so lost on how to spell this now) to
choose
and modify the task the user will be using.
o Allow "easy" scheduling, or predefined schedules for users
such
Daily at x time, or Weekly on x days at x time...
o Add an Advanced Tab/Button/Dialog that allows a user to
define
a much more precise schedule.
o A Preferences dialog to set cron variables. ???
o An option to show/hide old at commands
Any others that I am missing?
