 * @ingroup tripal_core_api
 * @{
 * 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.
