NAME

       beanstalkd - simple, fast work queue

SYNOPSIS

       beanstalkd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Beanstalkd  is  a  simple  work-queue  service.  Its  interface  is generic, though it was
       originally designed for reducing the latency of page views in high-volume web applications
       by running time-consuming tasks asynchronously.

       When started, beanstalkd opens a socket (or uses a file descriptor provided by the init(1)
       system, see #ENVIRONMENT) and listens for incoming connections. For  each  connection,  it
       reads  a sequence of commands to create, reserve, delete, and otherwise manipulate "jobs",
       units of work to be done. See file doc/protocol.txt in the beanstalkd distribution  for  a
       thorough description of the meaning and format of the beanstalkd protocol.

OPTIONS

       -b path
              Use  a  binlog  to keep jobs on persistent storage in directory path. Upon startup,
              beanstalkd will recover any binlog that is present in  path,  then,  during  normal
              operation, append new jobs and changes in state to the binlog.

       -f ms  Call  fsync(2) at most once every ms milliseconds. Larger values for ms reduce disk
              activity and improve speed at the cost of safety. A power failure could  result  in
              the loss of up to ms milliseconds of history.

              A  ms  value  of  0 will cause beanstalkd to call fsync every time it writes to the
              binlog.

              The default behavior is to sync every 50 ms.

              (This option has no effect without -b.)

       -F     Never call fsync(2). Equivalent to -f with an infinite ms value.

              (This option has no effect without -b.)

       -h     Show a brief help message and exit.

       -l addr
              Listen on address addr (default is 0.0.0.0).

              When addr starts with "unix:", the unprefixed value of it will be used as the local
              filesystem  path  to create a UNIX socket instead of a TCP socket. In this case the
              value of -p will be ignored.

              (Option -l has no effect if sd-daemon(5) socket activation is being used. See  also
              #ENVIRONMENT.)

       -p port
              Listen on TCP port port (default is 11300).

              (Option  -p has no effect if sd-daemon(5) socket activation is being used. See also
              #ENVIRONMENT.)

       -s bytes
              The size in bytes of each binlog file.

              (This option has no effect without -b.)

       -u user
              Become the user user and its primary group.

       -V     Increase verbosity. May be used more than once to produce more verbose output.  The
              output format is subject to change.

       -v     Print the version string and exit.

       -z bytes
              The maximum size in bytes of a job.

       -c     This flag has no effect. It is kept for historical compatibility only.

       -n     This flag has no effect. It is kept for historical compatibility only.

ENVIRONMENT

       LISTEN_PID, LISTEN_FDS
              These variables can be set by init(1). See sd_listen_fds(3) for details.
