💖 CELERY-CONTROL 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the celery control manual page — it lives in the celery control Manual section of your man pages, and it's genuinely so much fun once you get it. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

celery-control — Send the COMMAND control command to the... (yes, the original literally trails off like that, we love a mysterious queen 💅)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

celery control [OPTIONS] COMMAND

like... that's the whole shape of it. options first, then the COMMAND you wanna send. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Send the COMMAND control command to the workers. that's it, that's the job. you're basically the group chat admin sliding into the workers' DMs 📲

Availability: RabbitMQ (AMQP), Redis, and MongoDB transports. iykyk — if your broker isn't one of those three, this isn't giving what you need.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --list — List available control commands and exit. a little menu of everything you could say 🫶 then it dips.
  • -t, --timeout FLOAT — Timeout in seconds waiting for reply. how long you're willing to stand there like 🧍 waiting for your bestie to text back. it's a FLOAT, so decimals are welcome, main character energy.
  • -d, --destination COMMA SEPARATED LIST — Comma separated list of destination node names. aka who you're sending this to, by name, separated by commas. no group-chat ambiguity.
  • -j, --json — Use json as output format. so the reply comes back all structured and pretty instead of vibes-only.
💀 tiny reminder bestie: every one of those options is exactly as written — don't go renaming flags, the workers will NOT answer and you'll be sad. 😭
