[ale] Cron Management

[Jim Kinney]

So one can run a cron job to have ansible push cron jobs...

Cron management is a pain. Satellite server and spacewalk had cron
management through a file push similar to what ansible does. It is time
manageable as well with the ability to schedule configuration changes per
machine or cluster.
