From: Brian Candler Date: 2010-03-09T19:07:02+09:00 Subject: Re: daemonize, redirect stdin and stdout and write a pidfile Have you checked out the documentation of the PidFile class in the Daemons gem? It implements options :dir_mode=>:dir, :dir=>"/path/to/piddir" Also, you can pass a filename as the first argument to daemonize(). However, both STDOUT and STDERR are written to the same file. I found this out just through a little grepping. cd /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/daemons-1.0.10/ grep -iR pidfile . grep -iR stderr . -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
