I think your update notification script is not supposed to exit every time there's a change. It's supposed to stay running in a loop where you get the next line from standard input (for each update), only quitting when that stream gets closed.
That said, the update notification feature should generally be considered deprecated by the newer changes API: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/notifications.html Cheers, Zach On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 9:26 AM, cdr53x <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I read the article concerning the view updates in the wiki > (http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Regenerating_views_on_update) and tried to > test this. > > I just put a basic script that simply logs a message in my conf.ini : > > [update_notification] > view_update=/home/tests/couchdb/deployed/bin/update_views.rb > > After restarting couch, I noticed that this script is invoked _all_ the > time, i.e as soons as the script finishes couch starts another one.
