Hello,

I am interested in the development of Cockpit support for systemd timers as part of GSoC 2016. I am an undergraduate student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering in India. I would like propose an idea on modifying the timer support to Cockpit services.

I want to create a D-BUS service with functions that provide crontab's different functionality. Would it be possible to call this D-BUS service functions from within cockpit like a client ?  

Also I'm open to new (or other possible) ideas on how to implement it.

I have intermediate level familiarity with D-BUS and jQuery. I have developed an application where I had to create both the D-BUS service and the client using it.

Here is the code to my hobby project.
