cronq 0.0.19

A Cron-like system for running tasks

# CronQ

A cron-like system to run your application tasks across any node, instead of one special snowflake. This is done by keeping your tasks in MySQL and publishing them over AMQP to workers that will run your tasks and eventually save the results back into the DB. This was started as a hackathon project at [SeatGeek](http://seatgeek.com)

# Installation

pip install cronq

Workers that need to be started

• cronq-runner - executes each task

• cronq-injector - checks for new tasks in the DB and publishes to AMQP

• cronq-results - Saves events from the runner

These take the envvars RABBITMQ_HOST and CRONQ_MYQL. CRONQ_MYQL should be a MySQL Connector DSN starting with mysql+mysqlconnector://.

cronq-runner will also use the variable CRONQ_QUEUE to determine which queue to consume. The default is cronq_jobs.

The web view is a WSGI app run from cronq.web:app and requires the same envvars.

## Runner

The runner requires /var/log/cronq/ to exist and be writable by the user executing the runner.
