Overview

This is a distributed task scheduler system that allows clients to submit tasks to a remote server, which executes the tasks asynchronously and returns the task status and output.

Features

• Task Submission: Clients can submit shell commands as tasks to be executed by the server.
• Task Monitoring: Clients can check the status of their submitted tasks and retrieve the output once completed.
• gRPC: The communication between the client and server is handled using gRPC.
• Dataclasses: Tasks are represented using Python's dataclass.
• Unit Testing: The project includes unit tests for the server and client components.

Setup

1. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Generate gRPC files: python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. scheduler.proto
3. Run the server python server.py
4. Run the client python client.py
