Description
It would be nice to be able to delete jobs in the queue. Has anyone worked on adding this?

#1
The general plan is that modules using job queue are well-built and only queue jobs which need running. In reality, this might not be true. If something does go wrong, there is a good chance you will need to be deleting a lot. So, the UI will have to be good.
#2
+1 from me. I would use this feature, maybe not a lot, but definitely during initial testing and debugging.
#3
Great module. Would be so useful to have a delete UI...
+1 =)

I haven't seen that patch before: #329432: improve job dequeuing. This is from the developper of workflow_ng and contributor of some best-having modules. Thanks Wolfgang!
Come on people, let's test! I'll do it myself and come back then.

This should be a given. How else would you cancel jobs? I have 11 jobs queued that are to send email through drupal_mail, and they aren't completing on cron run. So, how do I get rid of them? Tell people to use mysql clients?

Hi,
I'm using Job queue with Linkcker and have hundreds of jobs queueing, when will they be done and how to do the jobs faster ?
thanks.
#7
IMHO, giving users the ability to delete jobs may cause problems for modules not anticipating this possibility.
Yes, you could always delete jobs through MySQL directly (phpMyAdmin, etc)
#8
Agreed with Ryan. This module is meant to be lightweight and the UI is for information only. If a module knows how to properly handle itself, then it can provide a UI for deleting its jobs.
