Description goes here.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

Usage¶ ↑

Config¶ ↑

require 'penguin'

Penguin.config do |c|
  c.daemon do |d|
    d.name = "My daemon"
    d.loop do
      puts "Doing stuff"
      sleep 5
    end
  end

  c.daemon do |d|
    d.name = "Another daemon"
    d.command = "/path/to/daemon.rb"
  end
end

The first daemon passes a block to #loop which will be run as the main loop in the daemon, no daemon file is required. The second daemon specifies a daemon file which will be run and monitored.

Starting the monitor¶ ↑

Penguin::Monitor.start

Using the client¶ ↑

Must (currently) be run from the directory the monitor was started in.

client = Penguin::Client.new
status = client.status
client.unmonitor(status["daemons"].first)
client.kill(status["daemons"].first)
client.monitor(status["daemons"].first)
client.killall

Other stuff¶ ↑

Example rake tasks in /examples - starting the gui, formatted daemon status.
