A resque plugin for specifying the queues a worker pulls from with wildcards, negations, or dynamic look up from redis.

Authored against Resque 1.15, so it at least works with that - try running the tests if you use a different version of resque

Usage:

Start your workers with a QUEUE that can contain '*' for zero-or more of any character, '!' to exclude the following pattern, or @key to look up the patterns from redis. Some examples help:

QUEUE='foo' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from the queue 'foo'

QUEUE='*' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from any queue

QUEUE='*foo' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queues that end in foo

QUEUE='*foo*' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queues whose names contain foo

QUEUE='*foo*,!foobar' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queues whose names contain foo except the foobar queue

QUEUE='*foo*,!*bar' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queues whose names contain foo except queues whose names end in bar

QUEUE='@key' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queue names stored in redis (use Resque.set_dynamic_queue("key", ["queuename1", "queuename2"]) to set them)

QUEUE='@' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queue names stored in redis using the hostname of the worker

Resque.set_dynamic_queue("key", ["*foo*", "!*bar"])

QUEUE='@key' rake resque:work

Pulls jobs from queue names stored in redis, with wildcards/negations
