Automatically restart Horizon after a given amount of jobs.

Why?
----

[](#why)

PHP is not designed for long running processes, it can sometimes run into issues when it has been running for too long. Horizon workers can automatically be stopped after processing a configured amount of jobs (maxjobs). However, depending on the balanceMaxShift and balanceCooldown, it may take a while before all processes are running again. This package will automatically restart Horizon gracefully after a given amount of jobs have been processed.

This package is to simplify configuration and to ensure that Horizon is restarted automatically.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require justbetter/laravel-horizon-restarter
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

By default, after 100.000 jobs have been processed, Horizon will be terminated. This can be configured by adding the following to your `.env` file:

```
HORIZON_RESTARTER_THRESHOLD=100000

```

Quality
-------

[](#quality)

To ensure the quality of this package, run the following command:

```
composer quality
```

This will execute three tasks:

1. Makes sure all tests are passed
2. Checks for any issues using static code analysis
3. Checks if the code is correctly formatted
