Information about the package, rubygem-shotgun, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The rubygem-shotgun package is designed for, Automatic reloading version of the rackup command.


Package Name:

rubygem-shotgun

Summary:

Automatic reloading version of the rackup command

Description:

This is an automatic reloading version of the rackup command that's shipped with Rack. It can be used as an alternative to the complex reloading logic provided by web frameworks or in environments that don't support application reloading. The shotgun command starts one of Rack's supported servers (e.g., mongrel, thin, webrick) and listens for requests but does not load any part of the actual application. Each time a request is received, it forks, loads the application in the child process, processes the request, and exits the child process. The result is clean, application-wide reloading of all source files and templates on each request.
