API and scheduled job
September 09, 2013, 06:30:27 am
I know I can add a scheduled job to CiviCRM from the Scheduled Jobs menu item as long as it is an API function. Can I also add it using the API itself? I want the user to have a menu option that 'submits' a job as a scheduled job. Any hints?

Erik - if this is in an extension use the 'managed' feature and '.mgd' files to automatically create the job during extension install.
