# Add following to enable debug logging of Resque internals
Resque.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

# Use resque-retry plugin for automatic retries

# The scheduler process must be running to perform retries - if not running, the job 
# will run and fail and be rescheduled but never be retried

# Stop using inline scheduler to do realistic testing in development 
# Comment out this line:

# Redis snapshots are periodically written to the file /usr/local/var/db/redis/dump.rdb, 
# restart Redis after deleting that file to clear out any unwanted state

# Look at all failed jobs
