Has anyone considering turning the mongrel_cluster into a process manager daemon?
I know that generally many people rely on other applications (such as monit) to ensure that mongrels are up and running, but it seems that integrated process management out of the box would be a large win. The mongrel_cluster could remain running (rather than exiting) and keep track of the running mongrels (potentially restarting them if they die or zombie). At that point, pid files become uneeded for tracking running mongrels. The only exception would be if the mongrel cluster itself dies - at this point it would orphan the child processes and it would up to the cluster to kill off (or resume ownership) of any orphaned processes. thoughts? - scott On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Jos Backus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 01:25:41AM +0200, Hongli Lai wrote: > > PID files suck. > > Agreed.
