--- Comment #11 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> --- I expect there is a I'm failing to express the concept properly. Let's try again. There is need for something that: * allows endusers to schedule things to run arbitrary snippets of code at specified times or intervals (with their privileges); (using crontabs is a convenience bonus, not a requirement) * does not rely on a single non-redundant daemon (no SPOF); and * does not rely on a complex infrastructure or set of dependencies (like an entire cluster manager system). The problem with Jenkins or Gearman isn't that they don't do this perfectly -- it's that they do *none* of this at all. They're not a solution rejected because NIH, they're just not a solution at all (at least not to this use case). At best, they could be used as components of a solution (though, brittle and overcomplicated (for the task) as it is, Jenkins doesn't seem promising even for that). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
