Announcing daemon_generator

After writing rails_cron, and working with backgroundrb, I realized that I want something simpler. Much simpler. So I wrote the daemon_generator plugin. I think the whole thing is about 50 lines of code.

"./script/generate daemon <name>" gives you a simple stub that you can dump code in that will run in the rails environment as a background process. You're responsible for making it do something useful (try accessing stored tasks in a memcache or DB-based queue). If you want messaging, try backgroundrb.

Features:

Capistrano-friendly i.e.:

task :after_restart do
run "#{current_path}/script/daemons restart"
end

Per-daemon start scripts

Per-app start scripts

Graceful stop and restart

Per-daemon logging in your log folder

Automatic restart of a crashed daemon

Not thread-based

Go get the plugin:
