Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Black, Carey M." <>]

If I have a loader job ( or built in job ) is there a way to programmatically 
schedule it to run at some time in the future? 
        ( Example: in 10 minutes from now run the Unresolvable Subject 
Deletion Utility (USDU)")
        I can do the USDU job via cron (or at) at the OS level, but it could 
be helpful to trigger such things from inside a Change Log Consumer or GSH 
scripts. 

Yes I know I can run them "now". (AKA loaderRunOneJob()) The trick that I am 
talking about here is to delay the "now" until "later". ( And to be really 
fancy, see if It was already scheduled so that the job is not run multiple 
times in a short period of time.)

REF: I am looking at 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.app.loader.GrouperLoader.scheduleChangeLogTempToChangeLogJob()
  as an example.

Maybe another way to ask this might be:
        Is there an acceptable interface to get ahold of the Scheduler so 
that I could add a "local job" to it?
        Or is that "behind the curtain" and I should look elsewhere for my 
needs?

        Thinking about ideas like: 
                Custom reports/exports/checks that need to be triggered by 
user event and/or other run time conditions.
                        Set an attribute "ReportRequest" = 
"EmailMeReport-GoodUsers" (on a group or folder context) and a report is run 
and an email shows up to the user.
                Etc...
