How to run "rake resque:work QUEUE=*" when Rails server boots?

I have installed resque correctly, but to process all queues I need to run

rake resque:work QUEUE='*'

The problem is that I need to keep the terminal window opened, otherwise resque:work won't works.

Do you know a way to auto-run that rake command every time I run "rails server" ?

I'm on Localhost

lib/tasks/resque.rake

require 'resque/tasks'

task "resque:setup" => :environment do
    ENV['QUEUE'] = "*"
end

Edit: Answer from 2012! Seems that this works just for Rails 2!

Add an initializer in config/initializers with something like this:

Rake::Task["resque:work QUEUE='*'"].invoke

Not tested!

Instead of calling the invoke function, you can use a gem like foreman that can invoke all the other tasks. This is useful if you are looking to have a largely platform neutral solution and also while deploying into cloud. Your Procfile can have the following contents:

web:    bundle exec thin start -p $PORT
worker: bundle exec rake resque:work QUEUE=*
clock:  bundle exec rake resque:scheduler

Source:introduction to foreman.

Now to start the server, you just have to issue foreman start command which forks off child threads to perform individual work.

The best way to do it is

ENV['QUEUE'] = "*"
Rake::Task["resque:work"].invoke
