Gearman Server Administration (telnet, PHP)

gearman_admin.md

Telnet

The Gearman job server supports a text-based protocol to pull information and run some administrative tasks. The following commands are supported:

• workers
• status
• maxqueue
• shutdown
• version

Example

$ telnet localhost 4730
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
status
asyncMessage 0   0   1
syncMessage 0   0   1

Gearadmin

Available as of gearman 0.19, the gearadmin tool saves a lot of boilerplate scripts from being written. The gearadmin tool is really nothing more than a wrapper around the telnet commands. It does make capturing the output a little easier and you don't have to memorize the commands.

Gearman Monitor acts as a sort of "phpMyAdmin for Gearman". The others, Waps_Gearman_Server, GearmanTelnet... don't offer an advanced visual interface.
