[JOBS] How to complete a task from an outside command

[att1sb]

It's possible I'm misusing a queue system as I haven't yet fully understood it's full capabilities or usefulness. With that said, I understand I can create a queue to proccess events such as sending email notifications, but none of the examples I've searched uses it to proccess long running tasks.

Basically I need to request financial data from a broker every minute for a specific symbol, run that data through my strategy algorithm, (optionally publish it to centrifuge, whenever I decide to watch the graph on the front-end), until I decide to terminate the session.

Up to this point, I've writen the code to create a session, and send that session payload to the worker - now as far as I can see there's no way to terminate/complete or even fail a specific job after it's been sent to the queue, I figured the task Id could be used to fetch it from the queue but there's nothing in the documentation in that regard.

If I have multiple sessions (running in the background) the only possible way is to terminate/pause/resume the entire queue but not any specific job within that queue.

Was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction.

Hey @att1sb 👋🏻
I guess, that it would be better to use the service plugin: https://roadrunner.dev/docs/plugins-service/2.x/en
Or, much better would be to use the temporal php-sdk with the RR: https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-php

But, unfortunately, this is not possible to stop the job when RR has already consumed it from the driver (like rabbitmq, beanstalk, etc). But this is definitely possible in the temporal + you would have the async runtime 😃

Perfect Valery, appreciate it!
