Anyway, after some thinking about real-life examples, I would say making it illegal would work, but would not be really practical. Now I agree that we need sharing Smile

One ugly issue though... By adding jobs to the main process, you make it more vulnerable to crashing. Plus, perhaps crashing timer process should not delete timer queue.

So to sum it, storing the timer queue into file system suddenly starts to seem like quite a good option!

I'll try to prepare some basic implementation, we can then try it out and discuss it further...

The problem with crashing main process can probably be solved by making all the processes execute the jobs, they just need to access the queue items carefully enough...

..or you can fork (and re-fork) one process just for callbacks...
