gearadmin --status columns

phubb, my own PubSubHubbub server, uses Gearman as job queue system. You may check the current status with gearadmin --status, but nobody tells you what the columns actually mean: ​

$ gearadmin --status
phubb_notifysubscriber  1       1       1
phubb_verify            0       0       1
phubb_publish           0       0       1
.

Every registered task/job has its own line. Data in columns are separated with a tab character. The listing ends with a single dot on its own line. ​

Column 0​

Job/task name​

Column 1​

Number of unfinished tasks​

Column 2​

Number of currently running tasks​

Column 3​

Number of workers that can handle that task​

The screendump shows you that there is a worker available that can handle every task. Also, there is one phubb_notifysubscriber task open and that one is also being executed right now. ​
