It would be nice to have a status panel that would show:

Job Status Started (or Next)
--- ------ -----------------
Alpha Running 2003/09/08 12:00
Bravo Idle [2003/09/08 17:00]
Charlie Running 2003/09/07 21:00

This could be used to kill jobs quickly by implementing section/buttons, whatever, making the panel a control panel instead of just a status panel.

It could also be used to support a feature that the Windows Task Scheduler has. With the WTS you can run a job immediately using the task's right-mouse-button menu. Prior to wincron I did this all the time.

I don't know what to tell you about cases where wincron is running as a service. Seems like it would be good to have some access to the panel regardless.
