Ruby守护程序中的错误文件描述符

Question

Using Ruby v1.8.7 and Daemons v1.1.8 on Mac OS X Lion, I am attempting to write a consumer process and get it run as a dameon:

# config[:name] => 'idx_my_delete_consumer'
# config[:daemon] => {:multiple => false,
#                    :backtrace => true, 
#                    :dir_mode => :normal, 
#                    :log_dir => '/Users/pprakash/consumer.log',
#                    :monitor => true,
#                    :dir => '/Users/pprakash/pids'}

 Daemons.run_proc(config[:name], config[:daemon]) do
    consumer = MyConsumer.new(config)  
    consumer.subscribe
  end

However, it does not start and instead throws a long traceback, which goes something like this:

I am not sure what is causing this issue? The directory name, log file name are all valid. I am able to create an instance of MyConsumer with these config and able to execute its #subscribe properly from a standalone program/console.

Answer 1

Based on my experiences with Ruby Daemons, I found that such errors indicate that the underlying block (which is daemonized) contains errors. Fixing those errors fixes this error as well.

Answer 2

You do have typos in your example that may be causing the error. Check the spelling for MyConsumer, which you transposed the s and n...

consumer = MyCosnumer.new(config)
