init.d script

resque-workers

Ideas

• Support spawning resque:workers for multiple apps.
• Support loading custom environment variables from a config file within each app.
• Support tracking pids via /var/run/resque/$app-$N.pid files.
• Automatically detect presence of a Gemfile.lock and invoke bundle exec.
• Target Ubuntu 12 LTS at first.

Prototype

A prototype Ubuntu init.d script for resque can be found in postmodern fork here. This script is currently running in development on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VM.
