What I really wish for is a wider variety of low cost scheduling solutions. Something more than a cron or Quartz like solution. My core requirements would be something like:
- 100% Java
- Clustering/Load balancing support
- fail-over
- Job chains
- agentless support
- remote job execution
- DB backed job status, job defs, job history, etc
- Nice UI for monitoring and job definition maint.
- Execution of SQL jobs
- Some "easy" way to support disaster recovery needs
I was intrigued by the SOS Berlin JobScheduler (http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/). The UI had a few usability issues and it isn't 100% Java; seems like it was only supported in a 32bit environment which would be a headache. For a free/open source product though - it has some very nice enterprise level/type features.
In the meantime, just sticking with Jenkins CI as poor mans scheduler and still thinking about writing some plugins to fill some gaps.
