IJobList

Interface IJobList

This interface provides functions to register background jobs

To create a new background job create a new class that inherits from either \OC\BackgroundJob\Job, \OC\BackgroundJob\QueuedJob or \OC\BackgroundJob\TimedJob and register it using ->add($job, $argument), $argument will be passed to the run() function of the job when the job is executed.

A regular job will be executed every time cron.php is run, a QueuedJob will only run once and a TimedJob will only run at a specific interval which is to be specified in the constructor of the job by calling $this->setInterval($interval) with $interval in seconds.
