good explanation. what if someone needed to run a job manually from a web ui? for example u have a daily job, it finished with an err and a manager fixed the err manually and wanted to re-run the job.

[@codeheim]

In such a case, you would like to push the job to the job queue. If the queue is generic, you can use an interpreted language to add the job.
Not a great way. Will try to find a better way.

How to prevent duplicate cron jobs from running when using this library?

[@codeheim]

You can use ditributed lock that works like a mutex. Please ccheck this episode: ua-cam.com/video/UfmzataUVYc/v-deo.html

why would you need a lib like this in go? so easy to write a go func to do for { select

[@RobinVeldhuis]

So that you wont get bothered every time someone from the marketing team wants to add a plugin, which requires a job to be executed periodically, to the web platform

[@chadgrant8870]

Huh? What’s this got to do with marketing???!

[@codeheim]

Not just marketing. You might want to run something in the background periodically at a specific time. I have tried to explain in this episode: ua-cam.com/video/UfmzataUVYc/v-deo.html
Please have a look.
