Running redis using upstart on Ubuntu

I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.

To install:

module God
  module Conditions
    class RestartFileTouched < PollCondition
      attr_accessor :restart_file
      def initialize    
        super                   
      end               

      def process_start_time
        Time.parse(`ps -o lstart  -p #{self.watch.pid} --no-heading`)

Event Buffering

Eventually platforms outgrow the single-source-tree model and become distributed systems. A common pattern in these distributed systems is distributed composition via event buffering. Here we motivate and describe this event buffering pattern.
