INTRODUCTION
============

Queueit is a CLI interface tool
which helps to integrate beanstalkd[1] queue service into my shell scripts.
This could be usefull for the cloud processing or task paralelling.

I am also using redis-server in one of the projects so there are scripts which
will do the same for redis backend. Please check redis/redis-queue script.

ENVIROMENT VARIABLES
====================

You can redefine variables in a such way:
export QUEUEIT_HOST=btd.local
export QUEUEIT_PORT=11300
export QUEUEIT_TIMEOUT=100
export QUEUEIT_TTR=5000


USING q-put AND q-get
=====================
1. Run the beanstalkd server
beanstalkd -d

2. Push new tasks to process
q-put todownload "http://site.com/video1.avi" "http://video2.avi"

3. Run workers in the cloud nodes

# Downloading files using wget and putting task into 'encoding' queue
while true; do
   url=$(q-get todownload);
   wget -c $url -O $$.out
   q-put toencode $$.out
done

# Get task from the 'encoding' queue and encode video file using HandbrakeCLI
while true; do
   in_file=$(q-get toencode)
   HandbrakeCLI -i $in_file -o ${in_file%.avi}.mp4
one



USING q-wrapper
===============
1. Run beanstalkd queue server:
beanstalkd -d

2. Push new task
q-put download "http://site.com/video1.avi"

3. Run q-wrapper to process the tasks
q-wrapper download encode wget {}


USING q-stat
============
q-stat shows nubmer of ready and buried tasks per queue
