crontab library

Hello,

is anyone aware of a crontab library.

Possibly even more complete, something that will let me
create/manipulate/delete crontab entries in a nice way and install the
new crontab accordingly.

I had a look at the crontab docs and never realized how complex it
actually is. So before I spend time in creating such a thing maybe
someone did it already :)

thanks
martin

I was thinking on how one would design an optimal (performance-wise) database of large number of schedules with crontab-like semantic. There will potentially be hundreds of thousands or even millions of "crontab" entries, and there will be a query run once every minute to determine which entries are to be run for that minute. The primary goal...
