I was thinking about doing something that would put a .crontab file in
their home dir and then the crontab server would pick it up.
the only problem i see with this type of solution is that scheduler
wouldn't know when a new/updated crontab was submitted. you'd need to
either have a script that fired like every minute or so to check for
these files or use something like fam and imon to monitor filesystem
changes.
option one seems very undesirable to me, but if you had a cron policy
that said submitted jobs get picked up hourly or something like that.
would you really want to rewrite cron to support fam/imon, i wouldn't.
if you where using something like SGE or openPBS you could use that to
submit your crontabs to a cron server or cluster of cron servers even. i
use SGE for job submittion of some statistical apps here, i could see
using it for cron.
