Scheduled jobs

Similar to the cron service, scheduled jobs can execute certain predefined commands. The difference is cron is used for periodic schedules, jobs handles one time planned events.

This feature is practical to plan automatic updates during maintenance slots or to shutdown the system if we know electrical engineers are going to cut the power at a specific time.

A list of example commands can be found at the cron section of the manual.
