Welcome to OverrideKernel

OverrideKernel changes Kernel functions from nasty wildebeasts into fluffy, harmless bunnies. Currently, only the exit function is dealt with in such a manner.

Getting Started

1. Install OverrideKernel at the command prompt if you haven’t yet:

   gem install override_kernel
   

2. Require the gem in your Gemfile:

   gem 'override_kernel', '~> 0.0.1'
   

3. Require the gem wherever you need to use it:

   require 'override_kernel'
   

Usage

Simply use the following call to start brushing the exit function off like it’s a harmless pest:

OverrideKernel.start_override_exit

This line will gladly put it back in your way:

OverrideKernel.stop_override_exit

You can check the state of the application by checking OverrideKernel.override_exit.

Notes

• Please note that it is up to you to ‘reset’ the application’s state should it be found to be ‘dead’. The following line will do the deed:

  OverrideKernel::AppState.state = :alive
