That works great.
If you can manage it, even better would be to set the TTR to a small value (say, 5s) and have the worker repeatedly call the touch command while processing the job. That way, a worker caught in deadlock or an infinite loop will not tie up the job for very long. This assumes you want the job to be rerun by another worker. If not, then, as Gurunandan noted, you can use the bury command. kr --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beanstalk-talk" group.
