Process multi-jobs per fork of resque

resque.rb

Resque.after_fork do |job|
  jobs_performed = 0
  kill_fork_at = Time.now.to_i + (ENV['MINUTES_PER_FORK'].to_i * 60)
  worker = job.worker
  first_job = job

  worker.procline "Processing #{job.queue} since #{Time.now.to_i} until #{kill_fork_at}"

  first_job.perform
  # rely on parent error handling
  worker.log "done: #{first_job.inspect}"
  worker.done_working
  jobs_performed += 1
  
  while Time.now.to_i < kill_fork_at && !worker.shutdown?
    if job = worker.reserve
      worker.working_on(job)
      job.perform
      # rely on parent error handling
      worker.log "done: #{job.inspect}"
      worker.done_working
      jobs_performed += 1                
    else
      sleep(1)
    end
  end
  first_job.instance_eval("def perform; end")

end

We're now using resque-multi-job-forks

Thanks mguterl !

i used resque-multi-job-forks, but the workers quit when all the jobs are completed.
$ MINUTES_PER_FORK=1 COUNT=2 QUEUE=db rake resque:workers
