class TaskJuggler::ProjectBroker

The ProjectBroker is the central object of the TaskJuggler daemon. It can manage multiple scheduled projects that it keeps in separate sub processes. Requests to a specific project will be redirected to the specific ProjectServer process. Projects can be added or removed. Adding an already existing one (identified by project ID) will replace the old one as soon as the new one has been scheduled successfully.

The daemon uses DRb to communicate with the client and it’s sub processes. The communication is restricted to localhost. All remote commands require an authentication key.

Currently only tj3client can be used to communicate with the TaskJuggler daemon.
