# Implementation Notes
We will need to run a background job that performs the state
polling. DelayedJob seems like the right tool for this; we'll want a

What we need is slightly different from what delayed job gives you: we
need cron-like functionality to run tasks at fixed intervals, whereas
delayed job is used for handling one-shot tasks in the background. It's
possible to use delayed job for this, but hopefully somebody else has
come up with something that is closer. (Haven't looked yet)
True, we were choosing some tool for this purpose on Aeolus side too few
weeks/months ago (before we knew about Tracker). Richard Su made lot of
work in this area (CCing him) so it would worh discuss this with him,
wiki page with related stuff is here:
or even better his patches could be reused in Tracker
