Public Class methods

Public Instance methods

add_job(name, ctx, run_proc, clean_proc)

Adds an already running task as a symbolic job to the container.

remove_job(inst)

Removes a job that was previously running. This is typically called when a job completes its task.

start_bg_job(name, ctx, run_proc, clean_proc = nil, async = true)

Starts a background job that doesn‘t call the cleanup routine or run the run_proc in its own thread. Rather, the run_proc is called immediately and the clean_proc is never called until the job is removed from the job container.

start_job(name, ctx, run_proc, clean_proc = nil)

Starts a job using the supplied name and run/clean procedures.

stop_job(jid)

Stops the job with the supplied name and forces it to cleanup. Stopping the job also leads to its removal.
