$pheanstalk = majaxPheanstalk::getInstance();
$pheanstalk->useTube('test_tube')->put('Job data');

Create a worker, modeled after ExampleWorkerThread in lib/thread/, which extends majaxPheanstalkWorkerThread and implements doRun().

<?php

class ExampleWorkerThread extends majaxPheanstalkWorkerThread
{
  protected function doRun()
  {
    $job = $this->getJob('test_tube');
    $data = $job->getData();
    $this->log('Got data: '.$data);
    $this->deleteJob($job);
  }
}

?>

Now you're ready to run the task!

./symfony pheanstalk:run_worker ExampleWorkerThread /path/to/store/log/in/

Easy-peasy

There are two primary helpers you will need for stateful management.

This is run during __construct(), before Pheanstalk is initialized.

This is run during __destruct()

You can set how much memory we're allowed to use (in bytes), and we will fail as soon after that as possible.

It is checked before every iteration of doRun().

To change it, in your doConstruct(), simply:

protected function doConstruct()
{
  $this->memory_limit = 8000000;
}

Number of microseconds (i.e. a millionth of a second, 1000000 == 1 second) to pause for between doRun() iterations.

To change it, in your doConstruct(), simply:

protected function doConstruct()
{
  $this->sleep_ms = 8000000;
}

Set this to false to not instantize Pheanstalk in the constructor. Use this if you're making a generic worker thread as opposed to a Pheanstalk worker thread.
