# Provides:   pumacontrol

### END INIT INFO
 
# Simple move this file into /etc/init.d/pumacontrol.sh
# Also make sure you `chmod +x pumacontrol.sh`.

# If you need to start puma at boot time run this in debian/ubuntu: update-rc.d pumacontrol.sh defaults
# It will create some links to execute /etc/init.d/pumacontrol.sh start at the begining

# I use this in a system where the rails app is running by a normal user,  where puma is 
# configured in PUMA_CONFIG_FILE. In PUMA_CONFIG_FILE is stated to create a pid file with the PID of 
# puma in the PUMA_PID_FILE file. The socket where nginx is redirecting the web traffic and puma is 
# listening is PUMA_SOCKET

# You need to specify a location for the PUMA_CONFIG_FILE

PUMA_CONFIG_FILE=/path/yourRailsApp/config/puma.rb # WRITE HERE PUMA CONFIG FILE LOCATION
# strip out quotes, remove comments, initial spaces, and get only the filename
# if desired write here the path to the desired file for example:
# PUMA_PID_FILE=/path/foo.pid

allow for a tcp bind address, i.e basically disable the failing checks for sockets.. And to fix the PID check which wasnt working for me.. Fixed as per @spacechurros suggestion at https://gist.github.com/joneslee85/5844933

Convert pid file path from relative to absolute.. My config file specifies relative, but this script requires absolute if it is to be used frominit.d
