hi I am a little confused over celeryd and celeryd_multi – what is the difference between this two? I mean, so far I have been using python manage.py celeryd, but i came across celeryd_multi today and couldn’t find any explanation. According to the docs, -c indicates Number of child processes processing the queue, so if thats the case, whats celeryd_multi's usage?

    celeryd command launches single celery worker. celeryd_multi command manages multiple celery workers. With celeryd_multi you can start/stop/restart multiple celery workers.

    celeryd_multi can be used to manage multiple celeryd workers listening to different queues:

    $ celeryd-multi start image video data -c 3

    This command is equivalent to:

    $ celeryd -n image.myhost -c 3
$ celeryd -n video.myhost -c 3
$ celeryd -n data.myhost -c 3
