Daemon Generator ================ To get yourself rolling: > sudo gem install daemons > ./script/generate daemon <name> Then insert your code in the lib/daemons/<name>.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/<name>_ctl [start|stop|restart] App-wide control script (I add this to my capistrano recipe's after_restart task): > ./script/daemons [start|stop|restart]
