Job management in Node

[Jatin Patel]

Hi, I'm looking for a simple way to create a job and then execute that job after some delay time.

I've looked at several libraries including kue and background and ran into issues requiring me to install python, .net, etc.

Is there anything that has this basic functionality that is up to date with current libraries?  I'd prefer not to use coffeescript, just node.js.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of job? If your job is essentially a function, there's setTimeout()

Essentially, it's a set of complex calculation that needs to be done every 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes, it would go and check for specific info (updated) in the db and then do the complex calculation.  I didn't wanted to use setTimeout() as I thought it wasn't ideal way to handle this - something like Quartz would be great.

You could use setInterval.

Like here for exampe:

My advise is to not mix those waters.

Use the simplest script you can and put it on cron if that fits.

If you need a job queue and workers, use kue or:

Code your custom queue consumer using that + core cluster.

Lots of options here depending on needs, load and scheduling.

shell-jobs is what you're looking for: http://github.com/azer/shell-jobs

I personally use it for 2 months and it works seamlessly

If your job can be executed in shell, crontab is a choice.

Other wise, if your job is a function, use some scheduler module or setInterval intead.

Pomelo-scheduler is originally a module of pomelo framework, it is quite efficient, and the usage is similiar to crontab.
