Small library for spawning and managing child processes

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'spawncamp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install spawncamp

Usage

simply include the library and have access Spawncamp::spawn and Spawncamp::spawn_loop

Spawncamp::spawn

    include Spawncamp
    proc = puts 'child_process'
    spawn(proc)
    spawn(proc)
    spawn(proc)
    spawn(proc)
    spawn(proc)

Spawncamp::spawn_loop

spawning loops is drastic so beware, this is a non killable process
