Now that we have mksnap_ffs, anyone simulate NetApp's schedule
system?

Has anyone written a script to manage mksnap_ffs snapshots similar to
the way that NetApp does?
(People with NetApp experience know what I mean :-). The configuration
is very, um, concice, but it works really well once you understand it.)
I imagine it would be a cron job that would run each hour and
create&mount a new snapshot if required, or unmount&delete an expired
snapshot. Of course, if they used the same snapshot directory names it
would be easier for users to adapt.
I searched on google and ports and didn't turn up anything.
