=item wait_time

The number of seconds to wait for a message (long polling).  The
maximum value is 20 seconds.

The advantage of using long polling is that your messages will be
received almost as soon as they are available on the queue.  The
disadvantage is that you may incur more costs if you are making a lot
of calls to receive messages on a queue that is infrequently used.  In
that case you may want to consider short polling with an C<interval>
value. This will result in far fewer calls to receive messages but may
delay receipt of messages up to the max wait time.

I<NOTE: Using long polling instead of short polling will result in your daemon
blocking until the ReceiveMessage API returns. Signals received during
this period not be may not be immediately acting upon.>

=head2 aws

This section describes the SQS endpoint and your API credentials. By
default, the F<QueueDaemon.pl> script will use the
L<Amazon::Credentials> class to find your credentials so you do not
need to configure them here.

  [aws]
  access_key_id = <Your Access Key ID>
  secret_access_key = <Your Secret Access Key>
  endpoint_url = https://sqs.amazonaws.com

=item access_key_id

Your AWS Access key value.

=item secrete_access_key

Your AWS Secret Access key value.

=item endpoint_url

The AWS SQS endpoint.

=head2 log

The log section describe how the F<QueueDaemon.pl> script will log
messages. The script instantiates a L<Log::Log4perl> logger
automatically for you that will log to the parent's STDERR. See note
below regarding how the daemonization process closes STDOUT, STDERR.

  [log]
  level = debug
  file = /tmp/amazon_sqs.log

When you daemonize the script, if either C<stdout> or C<stderr> is set
the parent's STDOUT or STDERR will be closed and then reopened using
those settings. If these are not set, then they will not be
closed. The closing STDERR will stop the C<Log::Log4perl> logger.

=over 5

=item level

C<Log::Log4perl> logging level ('trace', 'debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error').

=item file

Name of a log file for C<Log::Log4perl> messages. You can also use the
values of 'stdout' or 'stderr' to log to STDOUT and STDERR.

I<WARNING: You should probably make sure that the F<.ini> file is properly
protected with restrictive permissions if you place credentials in
this file.>
