Some friends and I just finished updating the Rails Cookbook with all the goodies in the latest Rails 1.2 release candidate. That helps explain the delay of getting this book to the printer but we’re all done now. It should be on shelves early next year. As soon as I get the exact date, I’ll post it here.
Rob,
I got the original, so was wondering if you could give a changelist?
@James – Are you thinking of the Ruby Cookbook? This book hasn’t released yet. (If you bought the rough-cut, you can just download the most recent version. That’s the idea anyway.)
Rob
Rob, I’m looking forward to it, BTW there is a typo on the O’Reilly site, it says the release of your book is January, 2006! and rough cut was released March 06.
Just a question about the pound / cronolog setup I found on your site.
The line
from the /etc/init.d/pound script at
ttp://blog.tupleshop.com/2006/7/16/customize-pounds-logging-with-cronolog
lets pound eventually run as the user from the pound.cfg configuration file, but cronolog will definitely run as root.
While pound needs to start-up as root, to register with port 80, or others, cronolog doesn’t really need to run as root. So it would be good to avoid this.
It seems to me this can be easily achieved by setting up a named pipe.
What do you think?
Also could you point out where the stderr goes, when running pound like this?
(I couldn’t find a better place to ask this on your blog)
