I've been looking at the cron scheduling here:
http://quartz.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/quartz/CronTrigger.html
The model is a little complex, and its not clear to me what the
defaults should be. So I'll check in a simple version that uses the
cron expression and take a look at splitting it into attributes later.

<job class="org.my.synapse.job">
<property name="stringProp" value="String"/>
<property name="xmlProp">
<somexml>config</somexml>
</property>
<simpletrigger forever="true" count="10" interval="1000"/> <!--
forever or count not both -->
<crontrigger expression="0 * 1 * * ?" />
</job>
