NAME

gearmand - Gearman client/worker connector.

SYNOPSIS

 gearmand --daemon

DESCRIPTION

You run the gearmand server (or more likely, many of them for both high-availability and load balancing), then have workers (using Gearman::Worker from the Gearman module) register their ability to do certain functions to all of them, and then clients (using either the blocking or async versions) request work to be done from one of the gearmand servers.

The servers connects them, multiplexing duplicate requests as requested, etc.
