What is the difference between queue:work --daemon and queue:listen

Question

I\'m settin up my offline job server. I\'ve read the documentation but I still don\'t really see the differences between the two commands: artisan queue:work --daemon<

Answer 1

The most important difference is that queue:work --daemon does not restart the framework on each job, but queue:listen does. In fact, listen starts a whole new Laravel process for each job.

Try for yourself: Open 2 terminals and run work --daemon in one and listen in the other. The work window will execute jobs much faster than listen.
