Gearman Scheduler

Question

Anybody have experience or thoughts on a scheduler to couple with a persistent Gearman queue?

Obviously there's crontab available, but i'd like some more functionality. We're looking at Java Quartz.

Please weigh in if you've done this before in any capacity!

Answer 1

While quartz is quite capable of handling this, it is a pretty large package so you might want to get started a bit lighter at least at first. I have been exploring using either cron or at for scheduling and I'm leaning toward "at". I've never found a Unix-like os that didn't have at.

Answer 2

I'm using the MySQL Event Scheduler. Full timezone support, etc. Gearman has MySQL UDF's you can use.
