Add GUI to cron manager

Comments from Marc Laporte:
Perhaps a section which is more "read-only" with all existing cron jobs for all ClearOS apps, and an editable section (empty by default) with all the cron jobs admins set up on their own.
Perhaps each app could / should have a cron section? http://www.clearfoundation.com/docs/howtos/creating_a_clearos_module
If a GUI is too much work, a wiki page with the recommended, future-proof way to add crons would be good as well :-)
Suggesting to use "nice" would be nice ;-) http://superuser.com/questions/537509/nice-commands-in-a-sh-script-for-cron-jobs
It would be good to be able to run as a specific user. All ClearOS users of course, but also as root or Apache.
Webmin and ISPConfig both have a GUI to create Cron Jobs:

Cron jobs often pertain to a specific application, so perhaps they could be managed via the app
