Agile Web Development

To get yourself rolling:

  > sudo gem install daemons
  > ./script/plugin install [optional -x] http://svn.kylemaxwell.com/rails_plugins/daemon_generator/trunk/
  > ./script/generate daemon

Then insert your code in the lib/daemons/.rb stub. All pid’s and logs will live in the normal log/ folder. This helps to make things Capistrano friendly.

Individual control script:

  > ./lib/daemons/_ctl [start|stop|restart]

App-wide control script (I add this to my capistrano recipe’s after_restart task):

  > ./script/daemons [start|stop|restart]
