daemon-kit README

================

daemon-kit has generated a skeleton Ruby daemon for you to build on. Please read

through this file to ensure you get going quickly.

config/

  Environment configuration files

  Place for your libraries

libexec/

  daemon-kit-test.rb - Your daemon code

log/

  Log files based on the environment name

  Place for unpacked gems and DaemonKit

tmp/

  Scratch folder

Rake Tasks

==========

Note that the Rakefile does not load the `config/environments.rb` file, so if you have

environment-specific tasks (such as tests), you will need to call rake with the environment:

    DAEMON_ENV=staging bundle exec rake -T

Logging

=======

One of the biggest issues with writing daemons are getting insight into what your

daemons are doing. Logging with daemon-kit is simplified as DaemonKit creates log

files per environment in log.

On all environments except production the log level is set to DEBUG, but you can

toggle the log level by sending the running daemon SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals.

SIGUSR1 will toggle between DEBUG and INFO levels, SIGUSR2 will blatantly set the

level to DEBUG.

Bundler

=======

daemon-kit uses bundler to ease the nightmare of dependency loading in Ruby 

projects. daemon-kit and its generators all create/update the Gemfile in the

root of the daemon. You can satisfy the project's dependencies by running

`bundle install` from within the project root.
