Add the ability to prewarm a command rerun will run about rerun HOT 4 CLOSED

Nice idea, but I'm closing this as "out of scope". Guard and Spork both let you do similar things and I'd like to keep rerun lean and mean. Though if you can show me in code what you mean I may end up liking it.

If you insist on using rerun, your plan for using signals sounds good. A few months ago I tweaked the signal algorithm so rerun does a graceful and predictable escalation of signals -- see Runner#stop (currently at https://github.com/alexch/rerun/blob/master/lib/rerun/runner.rb#L183-205).

Hey @alexch, at Ooyala we use Rerun with tens of Ruby Sinatra webapps, but we're progressively switching to Sinatra reloader to mitigate the developer experience I described. Sinatra rerun has its own problems and Rerun is a better solution conceptually, but thus far for us, being fast has trumped correctness in priority. Because of this migration I haven't prototyped this prewarming solution in code.

By "Sinatra reloader" do you mean Shotgun or something else?

I'd love to see more detail about what you're proposing. Maybe a combination of a --before option (to launch a daemon) and a --signal option (to kick it)?

This is the sinatra reloader I was referring to: https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra-contrib/
