Today I thought of another way we could approach this.
I don't really like the idea of having to maintain a cron configuration for separate redis GC daemon. Other than that, I like the concept of having a separate dedicated process for this. So, it's possible we may be able to accomplish the same thing with a scheduled celery task (which would be loosely managed by the OQ engine). I haven't used scheduled tasks much in celery but I'll do some research to see if it's an appropriate solution.
