To get a feel for what it is like to use the job system when there isn't an appropriate job type take a look at https://dev.launchpad.net/Foundations/JobSystem All that copy and paste code gets you to the point where you have a job type (like BranchJob), and an implementation of a single job of that type. It's missing things such as writing the cronjob and getting it deployed, and writing a UI to start/monitor/cancel etc. jobs of that type.
