Rails Resque workers are getting killed

I'm running Redis, where resque works picks up tasks from redis and executes it.

When i start the resque workers 

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

I can see the resque workers are started

But after few seconds, these works are getting killed. I tried using VERBOSE for seeing the log. But its not giving any error.

  1. Is this a problem with redis or resque?
  2. How to fix this so that i will not lose any data saved in redis?
Solution

  • The Resque workers were killed because I have removed a class from the background job, and the resque workers were searching for the class.

    When the class is not there, it has failed and was killed without giving any error!
