Rails - Mar 2006 - Location to startup DRb Server

Hello,

where (in which file/object) would I invoke the startup of the DRb server to 
support a rails application?


It wouldn''t be config/boot.rb ?

How would I shut it down cleanly?


Greetings

Michael,

I start the DRb server as a separate process:
./script/runner RemoteServer.start

In testing, I just run/kill the process in the terminal.

In prod, I have a script: /etc/rc.d/drb

You should probably use PIDs and startproc, etc., but I just stop it  
with:
pkill -KILL -f ''RemoteServer''

I imagine there is a way to install a Ruby script as a Windows  
Service, too.

Hope that helps,
Scott
