#
# background.rb
#
# a minimalist toolset for managing arbitrary background tasks in rails.
# background.rb handles
#
# - daemonization
# - cli tools for start/stop/restart/pid, etc
# - ensuring only one process is running at a time
# - processing loop with responsive sleep (wakes on signal)
#
# to use create a script such as
#
# ./script/sendmail
#
# #!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# require(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../lib/background.rb')
#
# Background.process __FILE__ do
#
# Sendmail.sendmail do |sendmail|
# if sendmail.error.blank?
# Background.logger.info("SUCCESS - #{ sendmail.id }")
# else
# Background.logger.info("FAILURE - #{ sendmail.id }")
# end
# end
#
# end
#
# this script now has a cli interface like
#
# ./script/sendmail start
# ./script/sendmail stop
# ./script/sendmail restart
# ./script/sendmail pid
# ./script/sendmail run
# ./script/sendmail tail
# ./script/sendmail ping
#
