Subject: Re: Deamons.rb: changing the pid directory

Look in the rdoc documentation for Daemons::Pidfile. If daemons is 
installed as a gem, then

  gem server --daemon

and point web browser at http://localhost:8808/

Or just read the comments in the source, which will probably be 
installed somewhere like

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemons-1.0.10/lib/daemons/pidfile.rb

There you will find the following documentation:

  # === Where are the Pid-Files stored?
  #
  # Daemons is configurable to store the Pid-Files relative to three 
different locations:
  # 1.  in a directory relative to the directory where the script (the 
one that is supposed to run
  #     as a daemon) resides (<tt>:script</tt> option for 
<tt>:dir_mode</tt>)
  # 2.  in a directory given by <tt>:dir</tt> (<tt>:normal</tt> option 
for <tt>:dir_mode</tt>)
  # 3.  in the preconfigured directory <tt>/var/run</tt> 
(<tt>:system</tt> option for <tt>:dir_mode</tt>)
