Hey y'all: I've added some new stuff to mongrel_cluster. Give it try and let me know if it works for you.
* Added '--clean' to cluster::start to force removal of the pidfile before trying to start the cluster member. This is useful for recovering from unexpected process death. * Added '--only PORT' to cluster::* to support running a command on a single cluster member identified by its port number (eg, 8001). Inspired by Kaspar Schiess. * Added cluster::status to display basic process status information for the cluster. Returns '0' if all processes are found and '2' if a process or pidfile is missing. Supports '--only'. Status commands were also added to the init.d script, mongrel_cluster_ctl, and the cap recipes. * The init.d script (resources/mongrel_cluster) will now create /var/run/mongrel_cluster and chown to a defined user on start. To fully use this feature, update your cluster yml files to store the pidfile in /var/run/mongrel_cluster. This will support cleaning up orphaned pidfiles at boot time. For example: pid_file: /var/run/mongrel_cluster/foo.pid * Fixed a parameter bug with mongrel_cluster_ctl calling mongrel_rails. How would you use some of these new features? Lets pretend that your blog gets spammed by 3000+ comments and 2000+ trackbacks pushing your process memory usage to 300mb+. The fair and just Linux kernel, displeased by your actions, smites one of your processes using the all powerful oom-killer. How do you recover? $ mongrel_rails cluster::status Checking 2 Mongrel servers... Found dog: 8000 Lost dog: 8001 $ mongrel_rails cluster::start --only 8001 --clean Cleaning 1 pid file... Starting 1 Mongrel server... $ mongrel_rails cluster::status Checking 2 Mongrel servers... Found dog: 8000 Found dog: 8001 I'm open to suggestions for some different 'status' output. Let me know if I broke anything. Install with: sudo gem install mongrel_cluster --source http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ Thanks, Bradley Taylor Rails Machine http://railsmachine.com _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
