Backgroundrb devel - Oct 2006 - MiddleMan singleton issue in start script

Hi all,

I found this thread in the August backgroundrb-devel archives.
>This means that in order to reference the new_worker method *in the

I think it makes sense to turn the MiddleMan into a

I didn''t see anything after that date complaining about the issue
I''m
seeing, so here it is:
The start script has two lines of code that call MiddleMan.new. This results
in a NoMethodError,
because when you include Singleton it makes this method private. Attached is
my patch, which I''ve also
submitted on Rubyforge. It calls MiddleMan.instance, but the parameters to
new get nuked. This got my start
script working again, but I read that the whole start script will change
soon when the new version using slave comes out,
so I''m not sure it''ll do anyone much good. Regardless, passing
it on for
good karma.

This patch was created against the current rev (as of this writing), which
is 47.
