+## Running RQ Workers Under systemd
+
+[systemd][1] is process manager that's built into many popular Linux distributions.
+
+To run multiple workers under systemd, you'll first need to create a unit file.
+We can name this file `rqworker@.service`, put this file in `/etc/systemd/system`
+on Ubuntu. Where you put this file may differ by what OS you run.
+
+{% highlight ini %}
+[Unit]
+Description=RQ Worker Number %i
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+WorkingDirectory=/path/to/working_directory
+Environment=LANG=en_US.UTF-8
+Environment=LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
+Environment=LC_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
+ExecStart=/path/to/rq worker -c config.py
+ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
+ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID
+PrivateTmp=true
+Restart=always
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+If your unit file is properly installed, you should be able to start workers by
+invoking `systemctl start rqworker@1.service`, `systemctl start rqworker@2.service`.
+You can also reload all the workers by invoking `systemctl reload rqworker@*`.
+
+You can read more about systemd and unit files [here](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-systemd-units-and-unit-files).
