RE: Advanced Job Scheduler - changing run frequency

Keep it simple stupid.
3 jobs.
We're currently do just that.

There are a couple of ways I can think of to do this:

1) Set up 3 separate AJS jobs that all all the same except for the schedule.
2) Set up 1 "real" AJS job that is the actual command, then a couple
of other AJS jobs that do a CHGJOBJS to the schedule of the real AJS job.

The first seems simpler to me, while some may think the 2nd is more
"elegant."

The first seems simpler to me as well. If you really need three jobs either way, then there is a good case for making them as straightforward and easy to understand as possible.

To me, the second option you presented is not particularly elegant.

What *might* be more elegant, in my opinion, is an ongoing script which periodically runs the command and does the necessary logic to adjust its own delay time accordingly. The advantage is the logic is all in one place instead of spread out among three jobs. The disadvantage is of course that it's less "visible", in terms of administration (you'd have to inspect the code, rather than just look at the scheduler).
