Passenger standalone
Passenger standalone is used as default. You can pass options to the guard to disable or configure it. Guard::Passenger will start passenger on startup and take it down on exit. By default passenger standalone is activated and port is set to 3000.
Touching
If touching is enabled Guard::Passenger will open the given path. By default it requests localhost:3000/ and checks if the http status is alright.

Guard::Passenger accepts some options for configuration.
# :standalone boolean run passenger standalone (default: true)
# :port integer using the given port (default: 3000)
# :env string framework environment (default: development)
# :touch string path to check if restart was successful (default: /) (false = off)
guard 'passenger', :standalone => false, :port => 3001, :env => 'production', :touch => '/users/all' do
