Manually launch a Sidekiq job through Redis

redis, ruby, sidekiq

Solution

This is already covered in the FAQ: https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-push-a-job-to-sidekiq-without-ruby

Problem

Is there a way to manually launch a Sidekiq process without using Ruby, but by posting the appropriate message into Redis? There must be some sort of convention for the message that it expects.
