Canvas LMS rake task to return the number of queued delayed jobs

gistfile1.rb

namespace :ocadu do
  "Returns the number of delayed jobs in the queue"
  task :job_count => :environment do
    puts Delayed::Job.where("run_at < UTC_TIMESTAMP() AND locked_at is null").count
  end
end

Thanks Brian!

BTW, I think for MySQL the query should be:

select count(1) from delayed_jobs where run_at < UTC_TIMESTAMP() and locked_at is null;
