I have a rake task which runs mailman under the rails environment.
I’d like to ensure that rake task is always running via a daemon.
My rake task is rake incoming_mail
How would I go about daemonising that?
If you are on linux you could consider using start-stop-daemon.
start-stop-daemon -S --pidfile /var/run/incoming_mail.pid -u rails_user -d /path/to/your/rails/app -b -a "rake incoming_mail"To later gracefully kill the process you can use most of the arguments but replace -S with -K.
As always you can find more information on start-stop-daemon by reading the man pages.
