NAME
       zeus - boot rails in under a second

SYNOPSIS
       zeus  [--no-color]  [--log  FILE]  [--file-change-delay TIME] [--config
       PATH] COMMAND [ARGS]

DESCRIPTION
       Zeus makes working with large codebases much less painful.

       To use Zeus with Ruby on Rails  3.0+,  Just  run  zeus  start  in  your
       project directory. It will output a list of available commands, includ-
       ing tasks to spawn consoles, servers, tests, and rake tasks.

       See    https://github.com/burke/zeus/blob/master/docs/ruby/modifying.md
       for information on modifying the boot process that Zeus uses by default
       and adding custom tasks.

SLIGHTLY MORE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
       Zeus is a language-agnostic  application  checkpointer  for  non-multi-
       threaded applications.

       It  is  primarily  targeted  at ruby and other dynamic languages, where
       application boot time can be tens of seconds, but it  can  be  made  to
       work  for  nearly  any  language. However, zeus does not work well with
       multithreaded applications. It relies  heavily  on  fork(2),  which  is
       largely incompatible with multithreaded systems.

       Currently  only	ruby  is  targeted, but support for other languages is
       planned.

       Zeus lets you define common tasks, and preloads	all  of  them  in  the
       background.  When you ask to run them, zeus transparently connects your
       terminal to the already-running process in milliseconds.

       This lets you, for example, run unit tests in dozens  of  milliseconds,
       rather than dozens of seconds.

       Zeus  also  monitors all files loaded by your application, and restarts
       parts of it when dependencies change, to keep everything up-to-date.
