Scheduler

The scheduler handles background tasks of the application. It is logically seperated by "modules" with each module holding tasks.

Module

Currently implemented modules are:

• calls

Task Arguments

Example:

interval: 20.2 # in seconds, Optional as Tasks have their own default values
wait_first: false # true(default) or false, Optional

interval

Time in seconds after which the task is executed again.

wait_first

Optional. Defaults to false. If set to true the task's first execution is after seconds, not immediately after startup.

Calls Module

The calls module allows for scheduled, call relevant functions to be executed regularly.

Currently supports the tasks:

• build_queue
• handle_queue

build_queue

This task builds a queue of Users who have given the information that they wanted to be called at the current time.

handle_queue

This task checks the queue created by build_queue and makes a single phone call to the first user in the queue.
