Hi -- did you ever find a solution to this problem?

Right now, we're working with a legacy PHP application, and having a separate Laravel instance next to it. Laravle is already dispatching and processing jobs, but now we want to dispatch jobs from the legacy application straight to Beanstalkd, with Laravel running it.

The JSON we're posting to Beanstalk is in the form of

{"job":"\\Queue\\Jobs\\StartNew", "data": []"}

For now, I'm running

php artisan queue:listen --timeout=1200 --tries=3 --queue=newjobqueue

which will later move to supervisor. But Laravel keeps discarding the job, with a

Illuminate\Queue\MaxAttemptsExceededException: A queued job has been attempted too many times. The job may have previously timed out.

Anyone have any idea?
