Job Plug-in Modules
Netscape Certificate Management System (CMS) includes a component called Job
Scheduler that can execute specific jobs at specified times. The job scheduler
functions similar to a traditional Unix cron daemon in that it takes registered cron
jobs and executes them at a preconfigured date and time. If configured, the
scheduler checks at specified intervals for jobs waiting to be executed; if the
specified execution time has arrived, the scheduler initiates the job automatically.
Jobs that you might want to schedule include email notifications of timed events
(such as the expiration of a certificate) that require action on the part of users, and
periodic activities such as updates of related directories.
This chapter describes the job plug-in modules that are provided with Certificate
Management System and explains how to schedule times for jobs.

Overview of Job Plug-in Modules
Both the Certificate Manager and Registration Manager provide a set of job plug-in
modules that can be employed by the server to automate certain activities. The Job
Plugin Registration tab of the CMS window (see Figure 2-1) lists all the modules
and the corresponding classes that are currently registered with a Certificate
Manager.
