We use IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler to do all of that. #3 is a critical part of our batch processing, or indeed almost any of our scheduling requirements.

One of the things I'm particularly wanting to change in our environment
is how cron processes are handled.

I don't know if this was clear to other people, but to me it wasn't clear...

If you could describe the ideal holy grail of task scheduling that you wish to find, how would you describe it?

not the original poster, but I think the problem is

cron functionality with the following enhaancements

1. central administration, able to run tasks on any machine (as any user)

2. high availability with duplicate supression. All jobs will run, even if some machines are down, but a job will not be run more than once.

3. (advanced) ability to execute jobs on one machine only after specific other jobs (potentially on other machines) have finished.
