Description

Pidly is a very minimalistic daemon library that doesn't make assumptions. Pidly allows you to control the daemon without getting in the way with forced verbose output and usage messages.

Examples

require 'pidly'

    class Test < Pidly::Control

      before_start do
        "BEFORE START #{@pid}"
      end

      start :when_daemon_starts

      stop do
        "Attempting to kill process: #{@pid}"
      end

      after_stop :test_after_daemon_stops

      error do
        "SENDING EMAIL | Error Count: #{@error_count}"
      end

      def when_daemon_starts
        loop do
          print "TEST FROM #{@pid}"
          sleep 2
        end
      end

    end

@daemon = Test.spawn(
  :name => 'Test Daemon',
  :path => '/tmp',
  :verbose => true
)

# @daemon.send ARGV.first
@daemon.start # stop, status, restart, and kill.

Install
