This is a trip! I ALMOST made it XML! I got this crazy idea after looking
at Ant that maybe a SQL database was overkill for this.  After all, it's just 
for persisting this stuff in the event of a system crash.  Anyway, here's what
I started but abandoned it for the SQL.

Here's the XML file I had: 

<scheduledjobs>
        <jobentry name="TaskA" email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Task="YouJob">
`               <runtime min="30" hours="-1" weekday="-1" daymonth="-1">
        </jobentry>

        *
        * //more jobs here
</scheduledjobs>

Anyway, this would be loaded (ant like) during start-up, Then when CRUDing jobs
while
the system was up you'd just simply flush to the XML file.

What what the hell, should we change it to this?

Yes! totally cool!
