Running a job once about que HOT 6 CLOSED

(Probably doesn't need the job_class, just stuck something in the hash)

Hmm, there's not, currently. What sort of circumstances are you wanting to do this under? I'm wondering what the API would look like. Maybe something like:

MyJob.run arg1, arg2, :other_arg => arg3

from que.

For example, one job I have is a utility worker that hits an API endpoint that changes very infrequently, and usually the changes don't have to get recorded particularly soon. Letting that job run every few hours is plenty. Occasionally, though, the client will tell notify me that the data has changed and it should get updated ASAP, so it's nice to be able to just run the job once manually.

I know the code could get refactored out of the job class, but honestly sometimes the worker is the most sensible place to let that kind of code live. Rather than having the DRY utility code, and then a dumb job worker calling it and a rake task or some other method on a class that also calls it, just dealing with all that functionality in one place kind of keeps things simpler.

And I think MyJob.run make sense; lots of times when I'm doing this I don't really have a need to pass in any arguments, so that's really simple and nice.

Thank you!!
