Dumbist is a gem to daemonize you process with Sidekiq-style usage.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem'dumbist'

And then execute:

$ bundle 

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dumbist 

write your codes in dumbist.rb and run

bundle exec dumbist

Or you can determine the file of your codes by

bundle exec dumbist --require my.rb

After executing the command, dubmist will run a process, which requires your file in the launching process. If you want to daemonize the process, just put the argument of --daemone, like

bundle exec dumbist --daemon

Using the gem of ftpd

in dumbist.rb

require'ftpd'require'tmpdir'classDriverdefinitialize(temp_dir)@temp_dir=temp_direnddefauthenticate(user,password)trueenddeffile_system(user)Ftpd::DiskFileSystem.new(@temp_dir)endendDir.mktmpdirdo |temp_dir| driver=Driver.new(temp_dir)server=Ftpd::FtpServer.new(driver)server.startputs"Server listening on port #{server.bound_port}"getsend

Then execute

bundle exec dumbist
