Scheduling jobs through dbconsole

Question

Just trying to clear my concepts about automating jobs, my understanding is we can automate jobs through crontjobs (on unix) /taskscheduler (on windows)
The other option is DBMS_SCHEDULER.
any jobs like RMAN backups or sql scripts running should show up in below query(they are not running through Scheduled Tasks (its window box)
but i see few jobs & RMAN backups running on one db but i can't see them in this query, what i am missing?
SQL> SELECT owner, job_name, enabled FROM dba_scheduler_jobs;
OWNER JOB_NAME ENABL
SYS AUTO_SPACE_ADVISOR_JOB TRUE
SYS GATHER_STATS_JOB FALSE
SYS FGR$AUTOPURGE_JOB FALSE
SYS PURGE_LOG TRUE
ORACLE_OCM MGMT_STATS_CONFIG_JOB TRUE
ORACLE_OCM MGMT_CONFIG_JOB TRUE
6 rows selected.

And of course, there is no guarantee the job you expect to see actually exists in database B just becaue it existsin database A .....
