[Backgroundrb-devel] When does a worker terminate

[Samer Masry]

script/background actually starts/stop the backgroundrb process.  If  
your worker is set to autoload it will load up on start up.  You can  
create workers using
MiddleMan.new_worker( :worker => :foobar_worker ) or
MiddleMan.new_worker( :worker => :foobar_worker, :worker_key=>  
'some_key' )
and use the delete method on the worker if you want to remove them.

MiddleMan.all_worker_info will give you a list of current workers.
