tompave / rebooter.rb
Last active December 16, 2015 00:09
A simple implementation of a Ruby program that: works with a continuous event loop, is managed through UNIX signals, stops and reboots in response to file system changes (but that can be easily customized).
#! /usr/bin/env ruby
=begin
How to launch
$ chmod 700 rebooter.rb
$ ./rebooter.rb
It will create two files (will delete them on SIGTERM and SIGINT)
./rebooter.pid
./rebooter.control
