Description

This might be out of left field and way out of scope.

Could this gem support running an instance of resque-scheduler alongside various workers?

Asking because resque-scheduler takes up nearly as much memory as a standard worker but never does "real" work. So a fork for it as part of the pool might significantly reduce its memory footprint.

Maybe?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how resque-pool launches and manages workers, then compare that lifecycle with resque-scheduler’s process model. Define the expected configuration and verify that the scheduler can run alongside the worker pool without a separate full-memory worker; the issue provides no file or test to target.
