Is there a way to do scheduled events with this

Funny you ask - we actually wrote up a plugin for php-resque to do this a few weeks ago. You can do Resque_Scheduler::enqueueAt and Resque_Scheduler::enqueueIn.

We're using it at the moment, and I'll be open sourcing it shortly. Watch this space.

Hi Rishav, I wrote a similar thing, in fact it is a "WaitFor" plugin... Basically it will allow one job to be dependant on one or more other jobs. I use it for sending emails with attachments, and running an antivirus queue... basically the email send requires waiting for the antivirus to have run... so I send the virus queue job ids to the EMail queue, and it checks whether the status for the jobs passed to it as "dependent" is complete. if not it requeues the job.

If anyone is interested I can post here...

@rishav - funny you mention that. It's exactly what we based the plugin on.

I've released the code in its current state here: https://github.com/chrisboulton/php-resque-scheduler. We're using it in production at BigCommerce right now, and have had no issues. There are about 20,000 jobs we've got scheduled for the future at the moment.
