I looked into this some more.  It's works a little
differently than I initially thought.  The registry
paths are used to detect the presence of the task
scheduling agent on the remote host.  The actual jobs
are simply stored as files.

In my mind this would fit pretty well as just
a ~/cron directory for a given user.  For example,
it I run a job as jerry, then the job script would
be stored in ~jerry/cron and a crontab entry would
be made in /var/spool/cron/jerry.

I'm still thinking this over.  The other detail
is to figure out the file format used to present
the job properties dialog to Windows.  This is
probably already decoded somewhere (similar to
*lnk files or something).




cheers, jerry
