But to cancel the cron job, you'd have to edit crontab, then you'd have
to remember to restore the crontab before trying another rule.

I'd use a script to
  Backup working rules
  Set up at (or cron if you prefer extra work) to restore old rules
  Load new rules

Otherwise, the one time you forget to schedule a return to the old rules
in the one time you lock yourself out.

I have seen things you lusers would not believe.
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab.
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate.
All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last
week. Time to die.
