+# Rerun
+
+<http://github.com/alexch/rerun>
+
+Launches your app, then watches the filesystem. If a relevant file
+changes, then it restarts your app.
+
+Currently only *.rb files are watched, anywhere under the current
+directory (.). This is pretty lame so it will change soon.
+
+If you're on Mac OS X, it uses the built-in facilities for monitoring
+the filesystem, so CPU use is very light.  
+
+If you have "growlcmd" available on the PATH, it sends notifications to
+growl in addition to the console.
+
+# Usage: 
+
+        rerun [options] cmd
+
+# Options:
+
+Only --version and --help so far.
+
+# To Do:
+
+* Allow arbitrary sets of directories and file types, possibly with "include" and "exclude" sets
+* ".rerun" file to specify options per project or in $HOME.
+* Test on Windows and Linux.

+Shotgun: <http://github.com/rtomayko/shotgun>
+
+# Why would I use this instead of Shotgun?
+
+Shotgun does a "fork" after the web framework has loaded but before your application is
+loaded. It then loads your app, processes a single request in the child process, then exits the child process.
+
+Rerun launches the whole app, then when it's time to restart, uses "kill" to shut it
+down and starts the whole thing up again from scratch. 
+
+So rerun takes somewhat longer than Shotgun to restart the app, but does it much less
+frequently. And once it's running it behaves more normally and consistently with your
+production app.
+
+Also, Shotgun reloads the app on every request, even if it doesn't need to. This is
+fine if you're loading a single file, but my web pages all load other files (CSS, JS,
+media) and that adds up quickly. The developers of shotgun are probably using caching
+or a front web server so this doesn't affect them too much.
+
+YMMV!
