RExec stands for Ruby Execute or Remote Execute (depending on how you use it). It provides a number of different things to assist with running Ruby code:

• A framework to send Ruby code to a remote server for execution

• A framework for writing command line daemons (i.e. start, restart, stop, status)

• A comprehensive Task class for launching tasks, managing input and output, exit status, etc

• Basic privilege management code for changing the processes owner

• A bunch of helpers for various different things (such as reading a file backwards)

• daemon-exec executable for running regular shell tasks in the background
