Mac OS X: About background maintenance tasks

Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. These tasks run at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. The tasks purge older information from log files or delete certain temporary items. Learn how the tasks automatically run after the computer wakes in Mac OS X v10.6 and later, and how you can manually force the tasks to run in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier.

gearman_client_run_tasks

GEARMAN_CLIENT_RUN_TASKS(3)					     Gearmand					       GEARMAN_CLIENT_RUN_TASKS(3)

NAME

       gearman_client_run_tasks - Gearmand Documentation, http://gearman.info/

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libgearman/gearman.h>

       gearman_return_t gearman_client_run_tasks(gearman_client_st *client)

       Link with -lgearman

DESCRIPTION

       gearman_client_run_tasks()  executes one or more tasks that have been added via gearman_client_add_task(), gearman_client_add_task_status()
       or gearman_client_add_task_background().

       gearman_client_run_tasks() can also be used with gearman_execute() if either non-blocking or background tasks were created with it.

RETURN VALUE

       gearman_return_t

       If GEARMAN_PAUSE is returned one of the tasks has "paused" in order to give the caller an opportunity to take some actions (like read data,
       handle an exception, etc...). See gearman_task_st for more information about the state of a task.
