[Backgroundrb-devel] can a worker commit suicide?

I'm using BackgrounDRb to monitor session activity and deleting user entered 
data in the database when their session times out.  Every time they do 
something, their time-til-timeout gets reset.  There's no notion of a max 
time.  As long as they keep using the app, their session stays alive.

I was wondering if there's a way, inside the worker, to do the equivalent 
of:
MiddleMan.delete_worker(session[:job_key])

Thanks,
Bill
