/**
 *
 * @desc This is example of using class ScriptAlone.
 *
 * Example task: you have a live queue of emails(for example in DB) that must
 * be sent as soon as possible.
 *
 * 1. You need to have some PHP-script that will check if there are any emails
 * in queue, and if yes so send them.
 * 2. This PHP-script must be runned all time, and check queue every second.
 * 3. Only one instance of this PHP-script can be runned, to be shure that one
 * email was not sent twice.
 * 4. PHP-script can be interrupted in any moment by some error, so in this
 * case it must be restarted as soon as possible.
 * 5. PHP-script can have a bug on some iteration, mean: it will be lunched
 * but not sending emails, so in this case it must be restarted as soon
 * as possible.
 * 6. PHP-script should be restarted every 5-10 hours to prevent memory leaks
 * and do it in safe way (when all current tasks are complete)
 * 7. Ability to stop script in any moment.
 *
 * What you do:
 * 1. Use ScriptAlone in way like in this PHP-script.
 * 2. Configure CRON(http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) that will lunch this
 * PHP-script every 5 minutes.
 *
 * What you have:
 * 1. Script will be runned all time, and checked emails every second.
 * 2. There will be only one instance of runned script.
 * 3. Script will be restarted if there will be any errors or iteration time
 * limit expire.
 * 3. Script will be restarted in safe way every 5 hours.
 * 4. You can any time check if script is runned by checking existing file
 * with $stateFilepath path (./examples.php.works)
 * 5. You can any time stop runned script by creating file with path
 * $stateFilepath.'.stop' (./examples.php.works.stop).
 * 6. All script restarts takes maximum 5 minutes (because of CRON try to run
 * next script instance every 5 minute).
