Control Resque via BASH / Shell / Command line, the various rake tasks out there does not seem to do the job clean enough run as, added code to specifically take advantage of the already present resque.yml configuration file: ./resque_control.sh start

resque_control.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo "Executing Resque Manager."

start() {
        echo -n "Starting resque..."
        RAILS_ENV="$TARGET_ENV" QUEUE="v2_processing" VERBOSE="1" nohup bundle exec rake environment resque:work --trace > ./log/resque.log &
        return
}

stop() {
        echo -n "Shutting down resque... "
        RUBY_SCRIPT="resque_config=YAML.load_file('./config/resque.yml'); puts \"#{resque_config['$TARGET_ENV']['host']}:#{resque_config['$TARGET_ENV']['port']}\""
        REDIS_CON=`ruby -ryaml -e "$RUBY_SCRIPT"`
        bundle exec resque list -r "$REDIS_CON" | grep `hostname`| awk -F : '{ print $2 }' | xargs kill -QUIT
        return
}
