Cruisecontrolrb users - Apr 2009 - Running cc.rb under Passenger (mod_rails) and the builders as Launch Agents

Morning,

I spent quite some time getting cruisecontrol.rb running on a Mac
under Passenger (mod_rails) and the builders running as Launch Agents.
 I''ve documented it on my blog[1].  I''d appreciate knowing
what people
think about this approach and any alternative approaches people might
be using to run cruise automatically and in the background.

Cheers,

Chris

Interesting, but seems painful.  The passenger support could be useful, though.

I just checked in changes to ccrb master which allow the init scripts
under daemon to run on OSX.  You should be able to hook this to
launchd, or just set it as a startup item for the current user''s
profile.

Yeah, I saw your commit that mentioned that it could now be daemonised
on Mac OS X.  I might try that although I suspect I''ll have the same
public-key-authentication problem that results in me having to run the
launch agents as a logged in user at the moment.  On that note, does
anyone know how to get around that particular problem (daemon''s
running as root but git access being public key only and the public
key belongs to a non-root user)?

Cheers,

Chris

If you run it as a startup program in the current user, that should
solve it, no?

The daemon has logic to run as a different user as well, but I''ve only
tried that on Linux.  It works fine there, though, when the script is
run on system init.
