 * @{
 * Tripal offers a job management subsystem for managing tasks that may require
 * an extended period of time for completion.  Drupal uses a UNIX-based cron
 * job to handle tasks such as  checking  the  availability of updates, indexing
 * new nodes for searching, etc.   Drupal's cron uses the web interface for
 * launching these tasks, however, Tripal provides several administrative tasks
 * that may time out and not complete due to limitations of the web server.
 * Examples including syncing of a large number of features between chado and
 * Drupal.  To circumvent this, as well as provide more fine-grained control
 * and monitoring, Tripal uses a jobs management sub-system built into the
 * Tripal Core module.   It is anticipated that this functionality will be used
 * for managing analysis jobs provided by future tools, with eventual support
 * for distributed computing.
 *
 * The  Tripal jobs management system allows administrators to submit tasks to
 * be performed which can then  be launched through a UNIX command-line PHP
 * script or cron job.  This command-line script can be added to a cron entry
 * along-side the Drupal cron entry for automatic, regular launching of Tripal
 * jobs.  The order of execution of waiting jobs is determined first by
 * priority and second by the order the jobs were entered.
 *
 * The API functions described below provide a programmatic interface for
 * adding, checking and viewing jobs.
