Hello,

Let's say I setup an application and I create new work for it but then there are no clients available. Those WU appear as "UNSENT". Can I manipulate the time a WU is "UNSENT"? 
I've want to set a TTL on new tasks. I found to two ways:
- Using the "time_limit" option on the wrappers config file (I do use a wrapper for my app).
- Using the "delay_bound" option of input_template to configure how long to wait for results once a task has been downloaded by the client.

These options are somewhat useful, but I still need to consider the scenario in which there are no clients available I do need to have the WU cancelled if say, there are no clients in 24hs.

Thanks.

Matias:
There's no TTL feature for unsent tasks.

In the admin page, there are links
Cancel jobs by ID and Cancel jobs by SQL clause.
These don't do exactly what you want but they might be useful.
