Up v0.2.2 on node v0.8.1 #40

Is up ready for production ?

There is a weird problem with it when used with express. In a nutshell when a route is created and then deleted sometimes it will work and sometimes it wouldn't work, you load the page it works, you reload it doesn't and on and on...

I thought it was chrome cache, i deleted all cache since the beginning of time and still the same thing. when i kill up and attempt to run it again up -w -p 3000 app.js i would get address in use error, for up to work again i need to killall node and then up runs.

Another problem is with up code reload, i have 20 node processes for a single app, is this normal ?

I'm on 8.1 here (on ubuntu 12.04/i5) and don't have such problems regarding the number of node processes (correctly identifies 4 by default). And no, I don't believe that 20 spawned node processes is normal.

Perhaps check the default number of spawned instances using require('os').cpus().length;.

I can't answer the 'production ready' question, but we use it on our staging server at the moment and if it holds up over the next month I don't see a reason why we wouldn't also use it for our production system.

Yeah i have a staging server as well ( same as yours! :) ) and don't have any problems with up, but those problems are on my local machine mac os 10.8.

i think @guille have a mac ?
