gearsloth v0.2.2

Introduction

Gearsloth is a system that enables delayed tasks and persistent storage schemes in Gearman queue server. It consists of a small javascript helper library and a daemon that functions as both a gearman worker listening to delayed tasks and a client submitting those tasks at a specified time. The gearslothd daemon supports a database backend architecture which abstracts persisting delayed tasks to a database.
