Some of us out there are visual learners. Things don’t really click until you see it in front of you. Others, well we’re just to lazy to read. We’d rather skip the book and wait until they make a movie about it. No matter which type of person you are, we’ve got the solution for you. We’ve put together a screencast for our small web utility EasyCropper. The screencast walks you through the simple steps of cropping an image on the Internet. Enjoy.

Anyone that reads blogs from the Rails community has probably already heard about God. No, not the deity in the sky, but an excellent monitoring application that watches your processes and keeps them running. I’ve mostly seen it used for taming mongrel but it can be used to monitor any process.

We’re running God for all our managed hosting clients to make sure their mongrels don’t pass out from exhaustion. Here’s our init script and a sample global config for your enjoyment.

• /etc/init.d/god
• /etc/god.conf

The God configuration file should be self explanatory. It’s just Ruby code, nothing magic going on there. I’ve just wrapped the core God.watch code around some loops to enable support for monitoring an unlimited number of applications. One small note about the init.d script: it first launches God, and then loads the config file via the ‘god load’ command. I’m aware that you can send god the -c parameter when launching it, but I’ve found that sometimes (seemingly randomly) that won’t load the config.

The init.d script should work fine on any RHEL /CentOS system. Once you add the file to /etc/init.d/god just do:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/god
chkconfig --add god
chkconfig --level 345 god on
/etc/init.d/god start

Now you’re good to go. Let those misbehaving K-9 devils do their best – they’re no match for God.

This was one of those simple things that was overlooked simply because we never had a need ourselves to restrict users. However, as more and more companies use Ticketish, this is becoming an important feature.

The first user for all existing accounts have automatically been made an administrator. If you want other users to have admin access, an administrator will need to go to “Administration,” the “Users” tab, and click on the user you want to grant admin access to.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this.
