Although this won't do a run 3, skip 1, run 1 scenario as easily as Bob's
suggestion, another way to tackle running a schedule when you want it would
be to update the schedule duration units to hours and then set the schedule
duration to 48 for every 2 days, 72 for every 3 days, etc. Unexpected boots,
or anything else causing the scheduler process to recycle, would cause a
little trouble though! Scheduling client scheduler stop/start via NT at or
Unix cron could be used to re-sync.
