Question: Running django-q in the background.

[aaronn]

Sorry if this is a noob deployment question:

I've used celery in the past but something that is appealing for me with django-q is how simple it is. I'm about to deploy (using a service called Render.com) and I'm wondering if there's a way to deploy it in the background (so that it doesn't take over the console). I have a startup script that runs gunicorn and starts up my web server.

// start.sh
gunicorn --workers=3 --log-level=debug --timeout=90 --worker-class=gevent myapp.wsgi

Is there a way for me to somehow call python manage.py qcluster so that it strictly runs in the background?

// start.sh
python manage.py qcluster
gunicorn --workers=3 --log-level=debug --timeout=90 --worker-class=gevent myapp.wsgi

Edit: Nevermind, sorry, just learned about the &. For anyone wondering the same thing, you can append an ampersand to run something in the background.

python manage.py qcluster &
