job queue
Pending work list
A job queue is a list of tasks waiting to be processed, typically by a computer system.
Jobs enter the queue and are handled in order—first in, first out—or according to priority rules.
The term applies to print jobs waiting for a printer, background processes on a server, or any system where work items line up for execution: Check the job queue to see how many reports are pending.
