Trinidad Daemon Extension

Extension to run Trinidad server as a daemon.

Installation

jruby -S gem install trinidad_daemon_extension

Usage

This extension can be enabled from the Trinidad's configuration file or from the command line. It uses a temporal directory to write the pid file but its path can be overridden.

Configuration file

Configure the daemon in the "extensions" section of the trinidad.yml file :

---
  extensions:
    daemon:
      # optional by default the pid is written into a temporal directory :
      pid_file: ./trinidad.pid

The extension also allows tuning JVM arguments to run the daemon with. They just need to be added into the jvm_args configuration section:

---
  extensions:
    daemon:
      jvm_args: '-XX:MaxPermSize=512m'

NOTE: Be aware that jvm_args are bare java options and not ones accepted by the jruby command !

Command line

To enable the extension from the command line you have to load the extension first and then use it's --daemonize [PID_FILE] option :

$ jruby -S trinidad --load daemon --daemonize ./trinidad.pid
