[Buildbot-devel] Start up a server during build process...

[Matisse Enzer]

Maybe something like:

step 1 - git checkout project
step 2 - bundle install
step 3 - bundle exec sc-server --pid-file=sc-server.pid &
step 4 - unit test
step 5 - more unit tests
step 6 - kill -9 `cat sc-server-pid`

In step 3 I made up the "--pid-file=sc-server.pid" option and I made the assumption that sc-server will run in the background after the parent shell exits. Both of these ideas are not true about sc-server - you'll have to work around that.
