Starling YML file

[tomrossi7]

I can't find the different options for the Starling yaml file? Can we
use it to specify the pid location?

Thanks,
Tom

Yes you can specify the PID file, if you look at the source for the
lib/starling/starling_runner.rb you can see how the options are parsed
for the command line. The same form, with a couple changes, is used
for the YAML config, ie :logger = log_file and :path = queue_path

Command Switch YAML Config Label Type
--queue_path queue_path String
--host host String
--port port Integer
-d daemonize true|false
--pid pid_file String
--user user Integer
--group group Integer
--log log_file String
--syslog syslog_channel String
-v log_level Integer or String, if String
then is a Logger log_level; debug, info, warn, etc
--timeout timeout Integer

all these keys need to be under the 'starling' key, so your YAML file
would look like

---
starling:
queue_path: spool/starling
pid_file: pids/starling.pid
log_file: logs/starling.log
daemonize: true

I tried this with `starling` v0.9.8 but it didn't seem to like it with
daemonize, using `starling-starling` v0.9.9 it seems to work just fine
though.
