Great run...

We had a great first run of the BattleTheater today.  Release 0.0.9 fixes a ton of bugs relating to the engines.

I have found an absolutely brilliant way of running the nodejs services.  I have this in my services.rb recipe:

runit_service "cloudrim-kaiju" do
  log false
  if(services.include?( "kaiju" ))
    action [ :enable, :start ]
  else
    action [ :disable, :down, :stop ]
  end
end

I can run a variable number of nodejs services based on the contents of the node["htc"]["services"] array.

These runit services are templated, but basically I can run a service that does this:

node /home/ec2-user/cloudrim/engines/kaiju.js

And run the Kaiju Engine on it's own thread.  Runit takes care of making sure the service is always running, and I don't have to mess with init scripts!!

Thank you #opscode !
