How to remove or cancel periodic jobs when worker is shut down

[divyam234]

Whenever worker running periodic jobs is shut down running jobs can't be cancelled and removed from UI. Ideally it should change state from running to discarded or cancelled without intervention of Rescuer and should be picked whenever new worker is started.And UI should should periodic jobs seperately with next run timestamp just like asynq.

You're saying that as soon as a worker is shut down, all the existing periodic jobs that it had already scheduled should be cancelled automatically? Why exactly? I guess I could see that as an alternate form of behavior, but it doesn't strike me as more correct.

And UI should should periodic jobs seperately with next run timestamp just like asynq.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a separate tab for known periodic jobs I suppose.

As a prerequisite to being able to show the jobs that were enqueued as periodic jobs, we might want to make them identifiable in some way. Maybe we should set a field in the job's metadata?

Yep, good point. Can't hurt much to have that info in there.
