Cli features

[clafouti2104]

Hello,

Is there a way to get the queue length?
Indeed, I run the method doBackgroundJob when I want to execute an action but I got a problem if the worker isn't launched : my queue increases without any reason. So I'd like to know the queue length in order to avoid useless doBackgroundJob.

Thanks for the answer

nc <hostname> 4730

Or write a script to do that, or use a persistent store (sqlite, drizzle, etc.) and do a count on the number of rows.

thanks for the comment, I got another question:
when I run

nc localhost 4730

status

I got something like this

 worker ~ function 184 0   0

Is there a way or command to reset the queue?

[bmeynell]

"184" is number of jobs queued, "0" is number of jobs processing, the final "0" is number of workers connected that can process that job.

To clear the queue, you can just restart gearmand.

There's also a 'gearman' command you can install (e.g., on ubuntu) that provides some utilities.

Leaving this open as things like this could make for a handy CLI tool.

Could be nice, with this new version, add some new cli features.

Any ideas?
