celery shutdown worker after particular task

Question

I\'m using celery (solo pool with concurrency=1) and I want to be able to shut down the worker after a particular task has run. A caveat is that I want to avoid any possibility

Answer 1

If you need to shutdown a specific worker and don't know it's name in advance, you can get it from the task properties. Based on the answers above, you can use:

app.control.shutdown(destination=[self.request.hostname])

or

app.control.broadcast('shutdown', destination=[self.request.hostname])

Note:

• A worker should be started with a name (option '-n');
• The task should be defined with bind=True parameter.
