[XQZone General] Potential CIS feature: server cron jobs?

[David Sewell]

I don't recall this getting mentioned at the Users Conference, but at UVaP 
we have thought this would be a useful feature:

   Add a "Scheduled Tasks" section to the CIS Web Admin interface that
   would schedule the server to run specified XQuery scripts on the
   filesystem or in the database at specified times.

Of course there are various ways of accomplishing the same thing via 
system cron jobs that make connections to the server, but doing this 
within CIS would pose fewer security issues and would put everything 
neatly in one place along with other administrative tasks.

Has this been discussed at all? Would other people find it useful?
