beanstalkd: Persist work queues by saving them to disk.
$ beanstalkd -b ${path-to-persistence_directory}
try on your machine

This command beanstalkd -b ${path-to-persistence_directory} is used to start the beanstalkd job queue server with a specified persistence directory.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • beanstalkd: This is the name of the command or executable to run. It refers to the beanstalkd server, which is a simple, fast, and distributed in-memory work queue system.

  • -b: This is an option or flag for the beanstalkd server. It is used to specify the persistence directory for storing the job queue data on the disk instead of keeping it in memory only. By using this flag, the server will persist the job queue to the provided directory, ensuring that it can survive server restarts or failures.

  • ${path-to-persistence_directory}: This is a placeholder representing the actual path to the persistence directory on the system. You need to replace ${path-to-persistence_directory} with the desired path where you want the beanstalkd server to store its data.

Overall, the command is used to start the beanstalkd server and enable persistence by specifying a directory where the job queue data will be stored on the disk.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
