// My non blocking main job
var myjob = function(args,next) {
setTimeout(function() {

next();
},1000);
}
var q = new qjobs({maxConcurrency:10});
// Let's add 30 job to the queue
for (var i = 0; i<30; i++) {
q.add(myjob,[i,'test '+i]);
}
q.on('start',function() {
console.log('Starting ...');
});
q.on('end',function() {
console.log('... All jobs done');
});
q.on('jobStart',function(args) {
console.log('jobStart',args);
});
q.on('jobEnd',function(args) {
console.log('jobend',args);
// If i'm jobId 10, then make a pause of 5 sec
if (args._jobId == 10) {
q.pause(true);
setTimeout(function() {
q.pause(false);
},5000);
}
});
q.on('pause',function(since) {
console.log('in pause since '+since+' milliseconds');
});
q.on('unpause',function() {
console.log('pause end, continu ..');

q.run();
//q.abort() will empty jobs list
