Installation

Usually You should install both runit-man and thin gems to run this tool fine.

gem install runit-man thin

Pragmatic approach is to setup runit-man as runit service like this:

runit-man -p 14500 -r

This command installs runit-man as runit service (using default folders /etc/sv/ and /etc/service/).

Look at INSTALL for details.

rackup configuration

Take a note that runit-man gem also provides config.ru rackup configuration file. It's useful for running under unicorn/rainbows etc. runit-man --rackup=command option does cd config.ru directory && set environment && exec command.

Customization

View names and content of files that related to concrete service

For each known runit service this tool looks for ./runit-man/files-to-view/ folder. Every symlink here will be shown as link to view target file content.

For each known runit service this tool looks for ./runit-man/urls-to-view/ folder. Every file ended with .url will be shown as link to view target location (location should be written as content of this file).

Show buttons that send signals to concrete service

For each known runit service this tool looks for ./runit-man/allowed-signals/ folder. Each one-letter-named file declares that signal button should be shown in Web UI.
