Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You can approximate it by subtracting the current time from the time you want and adding a delay for that duration. But there's no guarantee the job will start on time; you must make sure there are workers working at the right time and that no other jobs are ahead in line keeping them busy. The general meaning of beanstalkd's delay is to wait *at least* the specified amount of time. > Would I be able to replace beanstalkd in performing jobs that a cron can > perform? If you need cron, use cron. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beanstalk-talk" group.
