Can a task reschedule itself? If yes, how does this affect dependent tasks

[MW3000]

I have tasks that work with web resources. If a web-server is not reachable when the task is running, can the task reschedule itself and rerun after a certain time? If so, how?

If this is possible and the task has dependent tasks, how does rescheduling the task affect its dependent tasks?

Dependent tasks will only execute after successful execution of task it depends on.

RQ supports scheduled job execution, but there's currently no way to configure retries on failed job execution in RQ (although I plan on working on it soon-ish).

@selwin I look forward to this feature. It would come in very handy.

I'd like to assist with this if possible. Is there a feature branch in the works?

@inactivist Looks like this is being actively developed now #1299.
