Hi all, I have a requirement for initiating tasks from my site that requires long processing times, i.e. uploading/downloading some files to remote nodes. And, to avoid timeouts and hence to be able to provide instant responses to the user (user does not need to get the result right away), I was thinking about handling this with cronjobs, i.e. when I get this request, I will insert an entry into the crontab with exact time information (which is like 2 minutes from current time) and return the response to the user right away, and the task will be invoked right away (again 2 minutes from that time) by the cron daemon... Do you think this is a viable approach? Can you guys recommend a better way of handling this?
