Hi Aníbal, I have been using God for about a month without problems. I use a modified version of the config from the Website, and it works great, no complaints 🙂 ---

I heard about this! But haven’t looked into it yet. Is this a replacement for Monit or something to use along with it?

Is this a > replacement for Monit or something to use along with it? It is supposed to be a replacement, from what I have been told. Has anyone used this with Parrot? And I have seen indications that it can relate to Rails, but I am not sure how. Can someone shed some light on how this can be used with Rails? What I am hoping for is that I can use Ruby, Parrot, God, and Rails to provide a highly coordinated management stack on a high end router/ security device. Thanks in advance for any help.

I’ve recently looked into it for one of our projects. It certainly does the job well for what it’s designed for: monitoring processes and restarting them as necessary. I do found the internals (the transition) stuff to be a bit fickle, but maybe it’s just getting used to (heck, Capistrano takes getting used to in the beginning :-). I tried setting up a scheme for issuing STOP and CONT signals to processes depending on the load, but couldn’t get it to work. In summary, I think it’s great for your average Rails application and surrounding server daemons, but it’s not up to par with monit for anything more advanced. And in most cases that will do just fine. I’m liking it. – Roderick van Domburg > **[De domeinnaam Nedforce.nl is te koop.](http://www.nedforce.nl)** > > Deze mooie domeinnaam kan al over een paar minuten van jou zijn.

Thank you very much for the explanation… So Monit is more powerful and God is easier to understand / set up and it works good enough… Thanx again! Roderick van Domburg wrote: > D.
