Right now I have a weekly email job that works by first checking a last_email_sent timestamp against the current time, it then uses setTimeout to schedule a routine that is exactly a week from the last_email_sent timestamp. If the process ever restarts, the setTimeout would be queued again but the interval would of course be smaller. This works for a weekly email job, but is there a better way to handle jobs in node.js? Maybe there's a module out there that can let me manage my jobs that I'm not aware of.
Many of the modules listed in the node.js wiki under "Message Queues" will help with this type of system. Being a TJ Holowaychuck fanboy, I myself would probably first look at Kue.
