Description

Right now, to have a job that runs everyday from 9-5pm, we need to schedule 8 identical daily coordinator job, each of which starts at one particular hour; To have a job that runs from Monday through Friday, we need 5 identical weekly jobs with different start time. This ticket aims to solve this inconvenience.
