This is a simple module 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.
Here's some example output:
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 | The process name
Although bundled as a Rails plugin, it works with any Mongrel server.
