req.addArgument("job", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
result=context.issueSubRequest(req);

Purpose

The cronNew accessor provides the means to add new entries to the Cron transport's list of scheduled jobs. The accessor takes a standard job specification document as the job argument. The scheduled jobs will be added to the context of the requesting module which invokes this accessor, providing isolation between modules.

An exception will be thrown if the job doesn't conform to the job schema or if the job name is not unique.
