Job queue

This page desperately needs to be filled out or brought up to date. If you're familiar with the operations of this part of the site, please help!

A certain percentage of things in the job queue are taken care of by random runs during page views.

There is also a batch runner, runJobs.php. We have a script to run it in a loop, jobs-loop.sh. At any time you can get the number of jobs in the queue using showJobs.php database.

• What machine does it run on?
