I think this is two problems.

1) The Scheduler.conf won't have the new agent in it. I think this is #343

http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343

right?

2) Are you saying the scheduler bombs out on restart because the self-test 
agent gives an error? That seems like a bug. I think either A) if an agent 
isn't listed in Scheduler.conf then we shouldn't test for it or B) even if 
we decide we do want to test all installed agents, they shouldn't fail just 
because they aren't listed in Scheduler.conf. nealk might have written it 
to complain if an agent wasn't listed, but I think we want to support the 
ability to not use agents, right?
What do you think the behavior should be?
There should probably be a separate bug in bugzilla for this.

[snip]

See my mail to the above bug for possible answers to the rest of your 
questions. Scheduler.conf is a particularly tricky case. This is one of the 
reasons nealk and I hoped to move that info into the database and have the 
user make changes via the UI. It would still be good to do that, but I 
don't know who will do the work.
