Scheduling jobs in manageiq
Whats the best practice to schedule jobs in manageiq from automation?
As an example I want a user virtual machine snapshot to be scheduled(method).
This execution to vcenter can be done with an method in manageiq.

There is a scheduler available in evm, unfortunately i can't find an option to create a new schedule from a method with evm.execute or an api for example.

As a workaround i am now on a method that creates a crontab task that executes a ruby ​​script.
This ruby script calls the api to call an instance/method to make the snapshot.
