This is Async Observer -- a Rails plugin that provides deep integration with
Beanstalk.

Worker Options:
-d                                : daemonize
--pid [path to pidfile]           : drop a pid file to a path
-e [test,production,development]  : set the rails environment

Example Usage:

start 3 workers
  ./vendor/plugins/async_observer/bin/worker -d --pid log/worker1.pid -e production
  ./vendor/plugins/async_observer/bin/worker -d --pid log/worker2.pid -e production
  ./vendor/plugins/async_observer/bin/worker -d --pid log/worker3.pid -e production

kill one
  kill -s INT `cat log/worker1.pid`

Remember kill a worker will cause it to go into a shutdown phase.
Run the above again to kill immediately, but remember all jobs in
the workers queue is lost at that point...
