Great to see I'm not the only one using Jenkins to look after crown jobs!

However, it's to me way more than simply auditing & auth. The main advantage I found with Jenkins are:

- you get a central place for all the cron jobs. That comes with all the advantages the most important one being nobody has to remember on which server is this freaking script

- making an update can easily be done

- running the task can even be done by non technical people.

- easy backup

- when a script become deprecated you can easily remove it and you're not very likely to let it there running for nothing forever

- easy documentation for you tasks

There's probably more but Jenkins is definitely awesome for cron jobs
