# Untied consumer as a deamon proccess

Here is an example of how to run untied consumer in background. This is useful for deployment automation. We also keep the process ID on a file so you can monitor the process using Monit or God.

## How to

Add the following line to your Gemfile:

```
gem 'daemons'
```

Or simple install the [daemons](http://daemons.rubyforge.org/) gem using ``gem install daemons``.

That is it, you should call the method ``daemonize`` from the worker class and provide the log and pid directories absolute paths.

```ruby
worker = Untied::Consumer::Worker.new
worker.daemonize(:pids_dir => pids_dir, :log_dir => log_dir)
```

Now you have access to the following commands:

```sh
$ ruby consumerd.rb start
$ ruby consumerd.rb status
untiedc: running [pid 52324]
$ ruby consumerd.rb stop
untiedc: trying to stop process with pid 52324...
untiedc: process with pid 52324 successfully stopped.
```
