How to get existing workers for a queue for shutdown

[dwcarr]

I know there is a Queue.getWorkers, but this returns a string of worker names. How do I get the worker based on that name? Trying to write my shutdown function and was hoping to be able to use getWorkers to find all the workers to close.

I am late in responding this but for future users: as you always should keep a reference to every worker instance (as in const worker = await new Worker(...)), you should just call await worker.close() for gracefully shutdown. It does not make sense to call getWorkers as potentially the workers could be running in many different machines.
