Ruby
1

i am struggling with this daemon gem and cannot get it to work. any
help is appreciated.

E:\TradingTools\Development\app\helpers>ruby myserver_control.rb start
e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemons-1.0.9/lib/daemons/daemonize.rb:
103:in fork': the fork() function is unimplemente d on this machine (NotImplementedError) from e:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemons-1.0.9/lib/daemons/ daemonize.rb:103:insafefork’

this is myserver_control.rb

require ‘rubygems’ # if you use RubyGems
require ‘daemons’

Daemons.run(‘myserver.rb’)

this is myserver.rb

it does nothing really useful at the moment

loop do
sleep(5)
end

I see you are on windows - as the error message says, the fork is not
implemented there.
These are you options (maybe more):

  1. use fork from the win32-process gem. see
    http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/85/707/README.html for caveats
  2. remove the fork call from the daemons lib code
  3. reuse code from mongrel_service and/or win32-service gems

  1. use cygwin’s Ruby.
