Thanks for the information Michael - most helpful - one of the pains in SharePoint 2007 has always been the difficulty in diagnosing issues with timer jobs, and the changes made in this area for SharePoint 2010 will make things significantly easier.  I assume there will still be provision in this area to manage and make detailed changes to timer jobs with the use of Powershell scripts?

Answer 3

yep, the full control over the Timer Jobs is supported by PowerShell cmdlets (consider as a replacement to STSADM)
I just updated that article, including the commands

In 2010 you have the ability to specify a dedicated server for Timer Jobs in addition to the aforementioned features you also have status bars available in the UI that represent the progress of a particular job.  Timer Jobs are covered in native backup and restore as well.
