Hi gurus, here at Scuola IaD we have some Rails applications in production, I'm the sysadmin so I made a script for governing mongrel instances via the service command and integrating their management in a RHEL environment. This script, available with more information here:
http://bitsandchaos.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/mongrel-integration-for-rhel-fedora-and-derivatives-new-release/ has these features: - it does not use mongrel_cluster; instead, each Rails application is described by a text file, that specifies also on which ports it should listen to; - it spawns a mongrel_rails instance for each port and each application; - it can selectively stop/start one application, or all of them; - it deals with the pid stale file problem, ensuring they are deleted when it's needed; - it allows for a finer grain of security, as each Rails application can be owned by a different user; in fact we are using this script for also governing mongrel instances via monit, and it's totally compatible with RHEL 4/5, Fedora and derivatives. I'm happy if someone will use it, and more happy if someone will take a look at it to suggest improvements and corrections. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
