labtasker queue

Abstract

This page details the queue related operations.

Queues are the basic unit of task scheduling, worker management and authentication.

Create queue

Before submitting a task, you need to create a queue for your tasks (this is analogous to registering an user account).

It is recommended to use the create-from-config command to create a queue (after the config is properly setup via labtasker config).

labtasker queue create-from-config

or, you can create a queue different from the one specified in the config via create. See:

labtasker queue create --help

Delete queue

It deletes the queue specified in the current configuration, note that with --cascade option, all associated tasks and workers will be deleted.

labtasker queue delete --help

Update queue

You may change the queue name, password and metadata via update command.

If you do not want to specify password in the command, just run

labtasker queue update

and an interactive prompt will be shown.

For more details, please run

labtasker queue update --help

Get queue info

To get current queue info, run

labtasker queue get

If you are trying to use a bash script, you can use the --quiet option to get the queue id only.

queue_id=$(labtasker queue get --quiet)
echo $queue_id
