DESCRIPTION

STATES

new

contents

find

enqueue

dequeue

write_state

write the queue's state to disk.

stop

stops the queue, shutting down the PoCo::JobQueue session if running by sending a stop event to it.

spawn_worker

fetch_and_spawn_worker

prioritize

is_running

status

status_string

num_queued

start

halt

halts the queue. no tasks will be executed, although tasks may still be enqueued.

continue

reverses the action of halt by starting the queue back up. the existing state of the frozen flag will be preserved.

freeze

freezes the queue. no more tasks will be enqueued, but currently queued tasks will be allowed to execute.

thaw

reverses the action of freeze by unsetting the frozen flag. tasks will not be queable. the existing halt state will be preserved.

shutdown

shuts the queue down. this is basically a shortcut for the freeze and halt actions. no more tasks will be executed and no further tasks may be enqueud.

flush

flush the queue of any tasks waiting to execute. stops the PoCo::JobQueue session (if running) and clears the internal list of tasks. if the queue was running prior to the flush, the PoCo::JobQueue session is spun back up.
