New Async Observer Start/Stop scripts

March 6th, 2008

I've updated the Async observer start/stop scripts that I've been using extensively for pushing off long running tasks in Litmus. Combined with a few extra cap tasks this has been working perfectly for us for several weeks now.

Lots of the code is pulled out of the ferret_server and spec_server code from the Ferret and Rspec projects respectively. Download it here async_worker.zip

and get some Cap tasks from below...

    task :stop, :roles => :app do
