By crontab I assume you are tackling scheduling? I would be interested in what you have. I have been working on a scheduler also.

Agreed. Theres a group of peeps I am currently working with to make something
like Ant work as a complete command input replacement. If you think unix then
think of it as a replacement for crontab, initab and some other scripts. In
that case we need foreach, if, switch (and I have actually already coded them
up). However they will never be available from the ant core website.
Cheers,
Pete
