Jeremy, I'm working on a improved mongrel_service (for win32) that will handle the mongrel_cluster scenario in a simplified way. Still, configuration will be required, but each time you need to change the parameters for your mongrels, wouldn't need to remove/install cycle, just change the config file and restart the service. Also, with the new schema will get child process monitoring and re spawning if they are needed. (Still, don't know how to differentiate a sleeping-dead-zombie mongrel from the rest, but guess will figure it out ;) > > jeremy > _______________________________________________ > Mongrel-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users > > -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Leaders are made, they are not born.
