Mongrel process title plugin

This is a simple plugin for Rails which changes Mongrel's process title to reflect what it's currently doing. You can
then determine a given Mongrel server's status using "ps". For example:

mongrel_rails [10010/2/358]: handling 127.0.0.1: HEAD /feed/calendar/global/91/6de4
| | | | | |
| | | | | The current request (method and path)
| | | | |
| | | | The client IP
| | | |
| | | What it's doing
| | |
| | The number of requests processed during the server's lifetime
| |
| The number of requests currently queued/being processed concurrently
|
The port that Mongrel is serving



Installing into a Rails Mongrel app
-----------------------------------

Nothing special. Just drop the plugin in vendor/plugins.
