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=7003 / -p 7003
	   Set the port number, defaults to 7003.

       --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 happe, so only the initial workers will be woken up to handle jobs in the queue.
