Hi all!

I’m trying to create a mpd ruby on rails client. librmpd supports  
callbacks. For example the “CURRENT\_SONG\_CALLBACK” callback. But If  
there’s no request for a rails webpage, the callback isn’t triggered (of  
course).

Does anyone have a way to overcome this problem? I thought about using  
something like backgroundrb, but I can’t come up with a decent solution.

Does anyone have a good idea to make this work?

I found daemon\_generator tonight. Does someone has any experience with  
this?  
I also read these slides:

> **[Angels And Daemons](https://www.slideshare.net/vishnu/angels-and-daemons)**
>
> Angels & Daemons Supporting your rails application with custom daemons Tammer Saleh, ...

which also seems a decent solution but it looks a bit separate from  
rails.
