Does anyone know of work towards a generic package for background job
scheduling that would live inside a long-running server and provide
"cron"-like facilities? This would seem like an attractive gadget that
could be plugged in to any kind of server and then managed with a web app
(if the server is a servlet container), as a JINI service, or whatever.
IIRC correctly, Turbine, Avalon, and others have implementations of this
kind of thing -- it would be nice to work together for the "commons" good
:-).
