Processing multiple yii2-queue jobs at once

I have a sync job that takes 30-60 seconds each job. We have yii2-queue working, but have found that running 1 job at a time doesn’t work out very well.

The docs for running multiple workers is very systemctl specific:

yiisoft/yii2-queue/blob/master/docs/guide/worker.md

Starting Workers
================

Supervisor
----------

[Supervisor](http://supervisord.org) is a process monitor for Linux. It automatically starts
console processes.  On Ubuntu it can be installed with this command:

```sh
sudo apt-get install supervisor
```

Supervisor config files are usually available in `/etc/supervisor/conf.d`. You can create any number of
config files there.

Here's an example:

```conf
[program:yii-queue-worker]

Just so I’m clear, if I want multiple workers working my job queue, I just need to launch multiple instances of queue/listen?

For example, if I want 5 workers, then I should start 5 of these:

$ yii queue-sync/listen

Is there anything I’m missing?
