List of Job properties via cons.sh

Hello,

I would like to have a list of the internal job properties names. For example when I'm using cons.sh it is very simple to get a list of the configured jobs.
But how to get a complete list containing all attributes (User, Name and so on.)
When using the "describe" command I get the following output:

COMMAND> help describe
This command returns current value of specified job property.
The command takes 2 parameters: job and property.
Example: describe 65 START_DATE

But when I want to get all properties or the "Run as" I have to guess because I cannot find any keyword list. Can you help please?
Or can give give me an example on how to change the password for a "run as" job? Can this be done via shellscript? I have several jobs running as user 'root' and it would be very nice to change all jobs via script.

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot!
