SQL Server Jobs & Schedules

Question

Good Morning All
Does anyone know of a script/method of where I can obtain the following SQL Server Agent Job Information: -
Job Name, Owner, Description, Enabled, Schedule Description, Last Run
I've just joined another company and I've been tasked with auditing the SQL Servers here as this has never been done before.
Many thanks

--WORK for SQL Server 2000 or later
-- Get information about all jobs that exists in a specific server or
-- get information about long running jobs in a specific server.
-- PLEASE! To retrieve information about long running jobs uncomment the WHERE clause
