Debian Unicorn startup script.

README.md

A Debian (or any Debian derivative) start up script for unicorn. You will to change: the name of the /etc/{default,init.d}/unicorn to reflect the name of the application; the lines that check and then source /etc/default/unicorn (lines 5 & 6) and the INIT INFO line: "Provides" & "Short-Description" lines (8 & 13). There should be no reason to change anything anything else in /etc/init.d/unicorn.

h2.Bundler

You might find that bundler just works (unlikely) or (more likely) you will have to fuck around until it does. So if it doesn't work the following:

• add ruby_path=/bin to /etc/defaults/unicorn
• sed 's/^DAEMON=.*$/DAEMON=$ruby_path/bundle exec unicorn"

probably will.

Dear the Ruby community, please, pretty fucking please, ditch bundler it's a fucking up piece of shite.
