Resque multiple workers in development mode

Question

Hi is it possible to run multiple Resque workers simultaneously in development? I found this bit of code, but not sure if it will work and how..

So far I am using the standard

bundle exec env rake resque:work QUEUE='*'

redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

You need to add a COUNT environment variable and then change resque:work to resque:workers. For example, to start 3 workers:

bundle exec env rake resque:workers QUEUE='*' COUNT='3'
