miniond

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script is similar to minion but will do a few additional things:
# - PHP process is run in the background
# - PHP process is monitored and restarted if it exits for any reason
# - Added handlers for SUGHUP, SIGINT, and SIGTERM
#
# This is meant for long running minion tasks (like background workers).
# Shutting down the minion tasks is done by sending a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal
# to this miniond process. You can also restart the minion task by sending a
# SUGHUP signal to this process. It's useful to restart all your workers when
# deploying new code so that the workers reload their code as well.
# You cannot use this script for tasks that require user input because of the
# PHP process running in the background.
#
# Usage: ./miniond [task:name] [--option1=optval1 --option2=optval2]
#
# And so on.
