How to Use Resque Web alongside a Sinatra app

Question

I’ve got a Sinatra web app. I’m using Resque and Resque Scheduler, and now I’m looking into adding Resque Web to (hopefully) see what my Resque queue looks like. Now here’s my problem: the official Resque Web is a Rails app. I don’t know how to use a Rails app inside of Sinatra, or if it’s even possible.

So my question: What’s the best way to implement Resque Web into my Sinatra app? Can I use the rails app inside of Sinatra? I saw one person say that you should have a separate part of your app running Rails, but that seems really nasty. Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks!

Here’s what I was looking for: http://asciicasts.com/episodes/271-resque

Resque-web can be stand alone, run from the command line. So I’m just starting it up with a shell command whenever I spin up an instance of my server. Not exactly what I was looking for, but it does the trick!

Thanks for the suggestions, all.
