I had just about decided that. Here is what I am trying to do:

My boss has specifically asked that this be table driven, which is why I am looking for the information in the database, but he doesnt want to use dbms_scheduler. We have a large number of crontabs and a lot of different boxes, and he wants those crontabs on cluster boxes to be modified so that we can have the same crontab on each box. Thus, we have to modify the settings to indicate which node and/or instance it should run on, and whether the entry should run if the instance or node is down. Now, its pretty easy to do that in scheduler since you can set the instance affinity, but its more difficult in the crontab.

I suspect I will write a system level trigger to keep track of what is up or down, then query that at the start of the execution of each crontab entry.
