What's the cleanest way to add have a start / stop control with EventMachine

Hi there,

I'm new to playing with EventMachine and I wondered if anyone has a nice way of backgrounding it and start / stopping it from the command line like an init script.

e.g. ./mydaemon start|stop

I've not seen an example of this and search through the Juggernaut gem source I couldn't get the come I'd stolen from it to work with a basic echo server.

e.g. mydaemon start|stop

Any ideas?

Here's what I did :

# ============================= # script/em_manager # I did a chmod +x on this file

#!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rubygems' require 'daemons'   options = {     :app_name => "em_manager",     #:ARGV => ['start', '-f', '--', 'param_for_myscript']     #:dir_mode => :normal,     #:dir => path,     :multiple => false,     #:ontop => true,     :mode => :load,     :log_output => true,     #:keep_pid_files => true,     #:backtrace => true,    # :monitor => true   }
