== Installation
sudo gem install serverside
== Usage
Once you have the ServerSide gem installed, you can use the <tt>serverside</tt>
script to control servers. For example:
serverside start .
will start an HTTP server on port 8000, serving the content of the working
directory. You can stop the server by running <tt>serverside stop .</tt>
To run the server without forking, use the 'serve' command:
serverside serve .
=== Running a Cluster of Servers
ServerSide makes it easy to control a cluster of servers. Just supply a range of
ports instead of a single port:
serverside -p 8000..8009 start .
