Gearman: Run both client and worker on same machine?

Question

Hi everybody,

I just manage to install gearman on my local Ubuntu test environment. I wonder if I could in any way run both the worker and the client at the same computer, while in development stage?

Thanks a lot!

I haven't tried it myself; but as Gearman runs by default on port 4730, there should be no clashes, and the default connection is to the local host, so I wouldn't imagine any problems running them both on the same server.
