Option to set a specific attempt date

[strowbeary]

I'm trying to add a way to specify an attempt date for a job instead of just a delay.
I need a little help to figure out how to change things.

Could we contact each other ? Or discuss about it here ?

Can't you just calculate the delay based on the current date and time?

[strowbeary]

Yes but it can add a more practical way to schedule a job.

I wanted to know if there was a way to change the delay of a job after it is scheduled ?
For the moment i tried to DELETE the job with it's id and reschedule the job with the new delay but it never get executed.

There is not - the best way to do this is schedule a new job, and use your own database table to track whether a job has been cancelled (so when the job starts, it first says "have I been cancelled?" and if it has, then it just completes without doing anything.

This will cause problems if using strict ordering on jobs. That said, the new job should still get executed.
