Resque-bash

Using Bash to provide pubhubsubbub - works across multiple machines using redis commands and is designed to be compatible with resque

Create background jobs and workers using a bash script.

Drop this into your rails project or use this repo as is.

Resque-bash supports the standard Resque web frontend which tells you what various bash workers are doing.

To create a job (defaults to a queue called critical and submits a class called fetch with a value of the current time)

$ ./script/resque-bash.sh -j

To run the bash script as a worker and process jobs from a queue (defaults to the queue called critical and echos the args)

$ ./script/resque-bash -w

To start the resque front end

$ resque-web

To stop the resque front end

$ resque-web --kill

Why did I make this and should this exist at all? Rails can be slow to start and using bash to do quick ops-esque tasks is handy.

Note that this is calling redis-cli multiple times so it's starting and tearing down sockets constantly

Your mileage will be bad with this tool, use it wisely.
