Detect if application was started as HTTP server or not (rake task, rconsole etc)

Question

I\'m using EventMachine and Monetarily to start e TCP server along with my rails application. This is started from config/initializers/momentarily.rb.

Answer 1

After your application launches, you could have it shell out to check ps. If ps shows that the HTTP server is running and the running HTTP server has the same pid as your application (check the pid by inspecting $$), then you could launch the TCP server.
