.SH "NAME"
gearmand \- Gearman client/worker connector.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& gearmand \-\-daemon
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is the main executable for Gearman::Server.  It provides
command-line configuration of port numbers, pidfiles, and
daemonization.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\-\-daemonize / \-d" 4
.IX Item "--daemonize / -d"
Make the daemon run in the background (good for init.d scripts, bad
for running under daemontools/supervise).
.IP "\-\-port=4730 / \-p 4730" 4
.IX Item "--port=4730 / -p 4730"
Set the port number, defaults to 4730.
.IP "\-\-listen hostname / \-L hostname" 4
.IX Item "--listen hostname / -L hostname"
Address the server should listen on.
.Sp
Default is
.IP "\-\-pidfile=/some/dir/gearmand.pid" 4
.IX Item "--pidfile=/some/dir/gearmand.pid"
Write a pidfile when starting up
.IP "\-\-debug=1" 4
.IX Item "--debug=1"
Enable debugging (currently the only debug output is when a client or worker connects).
.IP "\-\-accept=10" 4
.IX Item "--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.
.IP "\-\-wakeup=3" 4
.IX Item "--wakeup=3"
Number of workers to wake up per job inserted into the queue.
.Sp
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.
.Sp
Negative One (\-1) indicates that all sleeping workers should be woken up.
.Sp
All other negative numbers will cause the server to throw exception and not start.
.IP "\-\-wakeup\-delay=" 4
.IX Item "--wakeup-delay="
Time interval before waking up more workers (the value specified by \-\-wakeup) when jobs are still in
the queue.
.Sp
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.
.Sp
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.
.IP "\-\-version" 4
.IX Item "--version"
Display the version and exit.
