Stopping gearman workers nicely

Question

I have a number of Gearman workers running constantly, saving things like records of user page views, etc. Occasionally, I\'ll update the PHP code that is used by the Gearman w

Answer 1

Hmm, You could implement a code in the workers to check occasionally if the source code was modified, if yes then just just kill themselves when they see fit. That is, check while they are in the middle of the job, and if job is very large.

Other way would be implement some kind of an interrupt, maybe via network to say stop whenever you have the chance and restart.

The last solution is helping to modify Gearman's source to include this functionality.
