hapi-job-queue

Hapi and MongoDB powered job queue.

Features:

• Utilizes server methods for jobs
• Jobs can be grouped together by name
• Jobs or groups can be run in intervals using the later cron and text syntax.
• Optional JSON api to control jobs
• Jobs contain tasks to run. By default a job has just one task with no data. Job will run once for each task.
