h1. Multiwatch 

 h2. 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.  

 h2. Downloads 

 * http://download.lighttpd.net/multiwatch/ 

 h2. Building 

 * [[BuildFromGit|Build from git]] 

 h2. Usage 

 Example for spawning two rails instances: 

 <pre> 
 #!/bin/sh 
 # run script 

 exec spawn-fcgi -n -s /tmp/fastcgi-rails.sock -u www-rails -U www-data -- /usr/bin/multiwatch -f 2 -- /home/rails/public/dispatch.fcgi 
 </pre>
