Can Jobs be used with the new async system in vapor 3

@BrettRToomey, Can Jobs be used with the new async system in vapor 3?

Would love to know how this would work in vapor 3 or if there is something similar for vapor 3. Do you know if you will update this for vapor 3? If I want to repeat a task within my vapor app every 10 seconds, is this the correct package/framework to use?

@nevinjethmalani With NIO, you can schedule tasks on an EventLoop using scheduleTask(in:_:)

@Mordil can you tell me how I would do that? I am new to vapor and don't even know where I would start putting code for something like this.

@nevinjethmalani In your boot(_:) method (using the default structure defined in the Application docs), you can use the eventLoop property on the Application passed to the method to schedule the task as I described before.

You can recursively schedule the same task again as the final thing done in the task you schedule, so that it repeats indefinitely for the app's lifetime.
