RQ has a process that sweeps started jobs and checks whether they’re still alive after their timeout has ended. Jobs that are harvested this way will be marked as failed...

If we want to detect long running jobs abnormally terminating early, we'll need to have a way to check whether the worker running the job is still alive. One way...

Yes, I agree. Actually adding a success/failure callback is high on my priority list. It would be nice to be able to do something like `queue.enqueue(foo, on_success=bar, on_failure=baz)`. I haven't...

At the moment, if a job fails, we don't do anything with jobs that depends on the successful completion of the first job. In fact, the depending jobs are never...
