Removing non responsive workers about bccresquebundle

[danhunsaker]

Are the workers themselves still running anywhere? Starting a new worker will clear the workers list of any workers from the same system (determined by hostname) that aren't still in the system process list (that is, whose pid isn't associated with a running process). So if the workers themselves are still running (even if they're frozen/locked up/etc), you'll want to kill them from the CLI. Then simply start a new worker, and it should clean out the list.

On the other hand, if the workers are associated to a hostname that isn't available any more, you have to use redis-cli to clear them out. The worker list is a set named resque:workers, so use Redis's set-related commands to clear out the offenders manually.
