Drupal 7 adds low level queue functionality with DrupalQueue class.

Job Queue is a scheduler and a queue. Ideally, Job Queue could use Drupal Queue for concurrency safe queueing while focussing on scheduling tasks. If there is interest in such an approach, there is a backport for Drupal Queue for Drupal 6:

http://drupal.org/project/drupal_queue

I've used this module with great results for import scheduling in Feeds: http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/feeds/includes...

I was hoping to just use Drupal Queue directly in my projects and end of life this module.

Is there an example or tutorial that shows how to use Drupal Queue module in Drupal 6?
