Using Jenkins for load tests

I'm using JMeter for load test and want to integrate my testing with Jenkins for automated testing.

I'd like to use Jenkins for two things.

1. I have one big script and several scenarios which only deviate in number of threads and ramp-up time. I'd like jenkins to use a master script, edit these two variables, and run my scenarios in sequence.

2. These scenarios produce log files, which on completion I'd like to move and rename with a counter on the end (must be unique) ex. JMeter_Load_{COUNTER}

Can/should I do this with Jenkins, or should I just use scripts and crontab?

Thanks for any insights on this.
