+Processes one split.
+
+Usage:
+ %(prog)s [--settings=<file>] [--cpulimit=<file>] [-v ...] <execute> <split>
+ %(prog)s (-h | --help)
+ %(prog)s (-V | --version)
+
+Arguments:
+
+
+ <execute> The path to the base execution program for running the user code
+ <split> The primary-key of the split to treat by this subprocess
+
+
+Options:
+ -h, --help Show this help message
+ -V, --version Show program's version number
+ -v, --verbose Increases the output verbosity level
+ -S <file>, --settings=<file> The module name to the Django settings file
+ [default: beat.web.settings.settings]
+ -C <file>, --cpulimit=<file> The path to the cpulimit program to use. If
+ not set, CPU limiting is not enforced.
+
+
+Examples:
+
+ To start the job split processing do the following:
+
+ $ %(prog)s <path-to-execute> <split-id>
+
+ You can optionally pass the ``-v`` flag to start the worker with the logging
+ level set to ``INFO`` or ``-vv`` to set it to ``DEBUG``. By default, the
+ logging level is set to ``WARNING`` if no ``-v`` flag is passed.
+
+ You can optionally also set the path to the ``cpulimit`` program to use. If
+ it is not set, then CPU limiting will not be enforced.
