Rainbows! config file for use with EventMachine

gistfile1.rb

# This is a configuration script for using Rainbows with EventMachine. I'm providing it incase somebody finds it useful. But honestly, you 
# should stop using EventMachine and use threads instead. The ThreadPool version of this is also in my gist list, and I recommend taking a look at that instead.

# NO, SERIOUSLY, STOP USING EVENTMACHINE.

      # it will begin spawning workers. The first worker spawned will check to
      # see if an .oldbin pidfile exists. If so, this means we've just booted up
      # a new Unicorn and need to tell the old one that it can now die. To do so
      # we send it a QUIT.
