Multiwatch¶

Description¶

Multiwatch forks multiple instance of one application and keeps them running; it is made to be used with spawn-fcgi, so all forks share the same fastcgi socket (no webserver restart needed if you increase/decrease the number of forks), and it is easier than to setup multiple daemontool supervised instances.

Usage¶

Example for spawning two rails instances:

#!/bin/sh
# run script
