Rails - May 2006 - mongrel_cluster 0.1.3 prerelease

Hi y''all,

A prerelease of mongrel_cluster 0.1.3 is available for testing with  
the  Mongrel 0.3.13 prerelease.  This release contains bug fixes and  
adds a Ruby script for managing all applications on a server with a  
single command.

To install:
gem install mongrel_cluster --source=http:// 
railsmachine.rubyforge.org/releases/

Changes:
* Suppress output from mongrel_rails.
* Added a verbose option (-v, --verbose) to print output from  
mongrel_rails.
* Added support for changing the user/group of mongrel_rails process.
* Added bin/mongrel_cluster_ctl to start/stop all clusters on a  
server. Usage: mongrel_cluster_ctl (start|stop|restart) [options]
* Addred resources/mongrel_cluster
* Fixed bugs in Capistrano recipes with mongrel_config variable.
* Remove use_sudo from configure_mongrel_cluster task.
* Changed restart_mongrel_cluster task to call stop/start.
* Added Capistrano tasks to support mongrel_cluster_ctl.

Known issues:
* Output suppression doesn''t quite work as  expected. Some messages  
from "mongrel_rails start" are not suppressed.
* Changing user/group should no-op if specified user/group is the  
same as caller (may require Mongrel patch).
* Documentation.
* Win32 needs love.

How to automatically start Mongrel clusters on system boot with  
mongrel_cluster_ctl:
1. Create /etc/mongrel_cluster
2. Create a symlink to the configuration files of clusters that you  
want to automatically start/stop. You can also use the  
setup_mongrel_cluster_ctl Capistrano task.
3. Setup start on boot and stop on shutdown. The gem contains an  
init.d script that works with RHEL/CentOS/Fedora.
     Red Hat systems:
     - Copy from the resources/mongrel_cluster bash script to /etc/ 
init.d/mongrel_cluster.
     - run "chkconfig --level 345 mongrel_cluster on" to enable  
running mongrel_cluster_ctl on start up.
     - start all clusters with "service mongrel_cluster start"
     - stop all clusters with "service mongrel_cluster stop"
    Other systems:
    - Look at the resources/mongrel_cluster bash script for example  
usage of mongrel_cluster_ctl from a bash script.
    - Modify as needed for your OS.
    - Email me a modified version for your OS and I will include in  
the final release. Please include instructions for starting on boot.

	You''re the man Bradley. Nice release.

Thanks

Nice. Just want to pipe in and say that I''ve been using mongrel cluster
for a couple weeks or so and it''s just the leash that Mongrel needs
when
using more than one server!
