The current cornjob package should be working fine. I have started thinking about updating the package. This would require a relatively big datamodel change. I'll start a new thread today with a link to the proposed changes.

One feature that I'll mention here is that each cron should be able to specify intervals like the familiar OS crons:

0,30 8-17 * * 1-5 

This time around I want to write the documentation first, since this package never had documentation.

Another feature that may be of interest is a lookback an lookforward feature. Admins should be able to see what has run, and what will run in a given interval. If an important report is missed because the server wasn't up at the moment it was scheduled to run, some kind of action should be specified, such as to run it asap, and/or notify the owner.
