Simple bootstrap for php gearman workers

This executes the boilerplate code normally required to get a gearman worker running. If running it on a tty it will also output some standard logging to assist in debugging.

How to install

pear channel-discover hradtke.github.com/pear
pear install hradtke/gearboot

This script makes currently makes the assumption that the filename matches the worker function name.

Examples

Starting a gearman worker in ./reverse.php

gearboot -f reverse

The output will look something like:

hradtke@dev01 ~/projects/gearboot !! gearboot -f reverse
Gearman worker running... press Ctrl-c to stop
Listening for function: reverse
