        "arguments" => array("/public/index.php", "application", "init", "-y"),
        "schedule" => "* * * * *",
        "work_count" => 1,
        "timeout" => 10
    )
)

```

Parameters

- program : an executable
- arguments : script path and their argument separate with array
- schedule (optional) :
    - default to false, it will be run as many as work\_count once, useful for infinite loop script such as rabbitmq worker
    - if specify ( must use cronjob format ) , daemon will run it when schedule is reach
- work\_count ( optional ) : default to 1 maximum 10, how many script have to run for current task
- timeout (optional) : task timeout in second default is 0 no timeout

To run the script as daemon you can use either init.d or systemd

$connection->set_close_on_destruct(false);
