--- Comment #11 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> ---
I expect there is a I'm failing to express the concept properly.  Let's try
again.  There is need for something that:

* allows endusers to schedule things to run arbitrary snippets of code at
specified times or intervals (with their privileges); (using crontabs is a
convenience bonus, not a requirement)
* does not rely on a single non-redundant daemon (no SPOF); and
* does not rely on a complex infrastructure or set of dependencies (like an
entire cluster manager system).

The problem with Jenkins or Gearman isn't that they don't do this perfectly --
it's that they do *none* of this at all.  They're not a solution rejected
because NIH, they're just not a solution at all (at least not to this use
case).

At best, they could be used as components of a solution (though, brittle and
overcomplicated (for the task) as it is, Jenkins doesn't seem promising even
for that).
