If you're not using resque-pool for some reason, you can run resque workers manually in a screen session.

Start a screen session named resque
screen -S resque
Move to your project's home directory
cd /opt/$HYDRA_NAME
Start some workers (in this example, five of them)
COUNT=5 RAILS_ENV=production VERBOSE=1 QUEUE=* rake environment resque:work
Detach from the screen session, leaving it running, by typing CTRL-a, then d

Useful screen/resque commands:

To view your active screen sessions
screen -ls
To resume the active screen session named resque
screen -r resque
To stop the resque workers, resume the screen session, then type CTRL-c to stop resque

To exit and close a screen session, either kill the process or resume the screen session, stop any workers, and type exit
