[erlang-questions] Persistent processes

[Gaspar Chilingarov]

We have added some persistence to our application processes by creating 
fun (closure), which holds all necessary environment to continue 
execution later and saving it to the mnesia. I've found that this was a 
great opportunity to us to make our application delayed jobs management 
much more simple than in other languages.

So we have implemented some generic module -- cron daemon, which takes 
case of restarting processes after reboot and scheduling them for 
periodic execution, which takes arguments like a fun, how often to run 
process and how long keep the task, before throwing it away.
