Option to enable/disable individual Scheduled Tasks (Cron Job)
Like with the Firewall Rules Configuration where it is possible to enable/disable individual rules without having to delete them and add them as and when needed it would be nice to have the option to enable/disable individual Cron Jobs in the Scheduled Tasks screen.
In a cron file this would simply be accomplished by commenting out that line, which can be useful when rules need to be temporarily enabled or disabled but you don't want to loose any of their configuration in the process.

Every scheduled task has a checkbox "Active" as the first configuration option on the task configuration dialog. You can simply check or uncheck that checkbox to enable or disable the task. In addition to that checkbox, in the list of all tasks, the tasks has a green or grey icon that indicates whether the task is active or inactive. You can also click on that icon to toggle the status of a task.
