The ConfigSkeleton provides a framework for creating a common class of service which periodically (or in response to external stimulii) rewrites a file on disk and (optionally) causes a stimulus to be sent, in turn, to another process.

Installation

It's a gem:

gem install config_skeleton

There's also the wonders of the Gemfile:

gem 'config_skeleton'

If you're the sturdy type that likes to run from git:

rake install

Or, if you've eschewed the convenience of Rubygems entirely, then you presumably know what to do already.

Usage

All of the documentation is provided in the ConfigSkeleton class.

Contributing
