CLI

Operate the queue from the terminal with the bundled flexiq command.

The main artifact bundles a picocli-based CLI (org.byteveda.flexiq.cli.Cli) that operates any queue from the terminal. Connect with --url <path-or-url>, plus --backend postgres|redis for the non-SQLite backends; with no options it opens the default SQLite store at .flexiq/flexiq.db.

bash

alias flexiq='java -cp app.jar org.byteveda.flexiq.cli.Cli'

flexiq --url flexiq.db stats
flexiq --url flexiq.db enqueue add '[2,3]'
flexiq --url flexiq.db jobs --status failed --limit 50
flexiq --url flexiq.db cancel <jobId>
flexiq --url flexiq.db pause default
flexiq --url flexiq.db resume default
flexiq --url flexiq.db dlq list
flexiq --url flexiq.db dlq retry <deadId>
flexiq --url flexiq.db dlq delete <deadId>

Read commands print pretty JSON, so the output pipes straight into jq. enqueue takes the task name and an optional JSON payload; jobs filters with --status, --queue, and --limit.

Serving the dashboard

bash

flexiq --url flexiq.db dashboard --port 8080 --auth

Serves the bundled dashboard until interrupted. This example enables session authentication with --auth; omit the flag to serve openly (the default). --token <token> gates the API with a legacy shared token instead; --static <dir> overrides the SPA assets.

Other backends

bash

flexiq --backend postgres --url "$DATABASE_URL" stats
flexiq --backend redis --url redis://localhost dlq list

--url is required for every backend except SQLite.

The CLI is a class in the main jar, not a separate binary — put the jar (and its dependencies) on the classpath, or ship a small launcher script like the alias above. There is no worker subcommand: workers are code, built with flexiq.worker() in your application.
