Is there a simple (i.e., not doing a showjob and parsing output) way to
determine if a scheduled job exists?

We have a :JOBCHECK command file which checks to insure that all of our
daemon and other type background jobs are running by issuing a
:tell jobname,user.acct Are you there? and then checking the CIERROR
for the unique message saying that the only qualifying target is a job,
so the job does exist.  If you get the error saying no such job exists,
you can take action to restart it.

However, I have found no equivalent for scheduled jobs.  Surely I'm
overlooking something obvious...
