This is a sample project that demonstrate how to use Resque outside of a Rails or Rack application (i.e. standalone).
First install and run the bundle command to install dependencies (you may need sudo, depending on your setup):
~$ [sudo] gem install bundler
~$ bundle
Then check if Resque's tasks are correctly loaded (you may need to prefix it with bundle exec, depending on your setup):
~$ [bundle exec] rake -T
You should see at least the resque:work task.
To enqueue a sample job run:
~$ ruby sample_enqueue.rb
To run the worker and process queued jobs, execute (you may need to prefix it with bundle exec, depending on your setup):
~$ [bundle exec] rake resque:work QUEUE=* TERM_CHILD=1 VVERBOSE=1
You should see the processing log (along with many other log lines):
Multiplier: multiplying 2 times 3 is: 6
