MailWizz can send emails very quickly using it's Redis queue feature. (If you don't know what Redis queue is or don't have it enabled, go read https://forum.mailwizz.com/threads/process-campaigns-using-redis-queue.216/ first.) However, currently, the way to process Redis queue is a bit cumbersome and error prone if the Redis queue processes are killed; or, if they aren't killed, they just continue running even if they don't have anything to process. So I came up with a quick script to help solve this issue. See below.
------------------
NOTE: I'm a noob, so please correct any errors or mistakes in the script. Also feel free to suggest any way to improve the script. Thanks!
Throw the following code into a PHP script:
Note that in the script you may need to modify the paths to each for the commands, e.g. ps, grep, redis-cli, etc. according to your own server settings. You can do the following to get the absolute paths:
Also note if you have MailWizz to use a Redis database other than 0, you will need to modify the above script accordingly.
After that, simply create a cron and run it every ten minutes (or at whatever interval you want):
Now every ten minutes the script will run; it will look and see if the proper key value is found in redis to indicate something needs to be processed. If it is found, then it will check to see if redis queue processes are already running and start them if they aren't. If it is not found, then all redis queue processes are killed.
