NAME

       gearmand - Gearman client/worker connector.

SYNOPSIS

        gearmand --daemon

DESCRIPTION

       This is the main executable for Gearman::Server.  It provides command-line configuration
       of port numbers, pidfiles, and daemonization.

OPTIONS

       --daemonize / -d
           Make the daemon run in the background (good for init.d scripts, bad for running under
           daemontools/supervise).

       --port=4730 / -p 4730
           Set the port number, defaults to 4730.

       --listen hostname / -L hostname
           Address the server should listen on.

           Default is

       --pidfile=/some/dir/gearmand.pid
           Write a pidfile when starting up

       --debug=1
           Enable debugging (currently the only debug output is when a client or worker
           connects).

       --accept=10
           Number of new connections to accept each time we see a listening socket ready. This
           doesn't usually need to be tuned by anyone, however in dire circumstances you may need
           to do it quickly.

       --wakeup=3
           Number of workers to wake up per job inserted into the queue.

           Zero (0) is a perfectly acceptable answer, and can be used if you don't care much
           about job latency.  This would bank on the base idea of a worker checking in with the
           server every so often.

           Negative One (-1) indicates that all sleeping workers should be woken up.

           All other negative numbers will cause the server to throw exception and not start.

       --wakeup-delay=
           Time interval before waking up more workers (the value specified by --wakeup) when
           jobs are still in the queue.

           Zero (0) means go as fast as possible, but not all at the same time. Similar to -1 on
           --wakeup, but is more cooperative in gearmand's multitasking model.

           Negative One (-1) means that this event won't happen, so only the initial workers will
           be woken up to handle jobs in the queue.

       --version
           Display the version and exit.
