How to kill background job in resque like the gem sidekiq

Question

I use rescue gem for managing my background jobs,

I want get the handle id after creating an new background job,

Then I can kill the background job anytime with the handle id.

But I couldn’t get it with resque, it seems there is no way to delete any queued job or running job,

I know that sidekiq has the way to deleted queued jobs

You can use ResqueStatus gem to keep track of the job and delete it using id, if needed.

Following is an example given in the gem Docs:

Your job class:

class SleepJob
  include Resque::Plugins::Status

  def perform
    # your code
    ...
    ...
  end
end

Enqueue the job and get job id:

job_id = SleepJob.create(args)

Kill the job using job id:

Resque::Plugins::Status::Hash.kill(job_id)
