Skynet has many global configuration options. You can access specific options via Skynet::CONFIG[:OPTION] = ? You can set many options via

   Skynet.configure(:OPTION => option, :ANOTHEROPTION => anotheroption)

If you want specific configuration to only apply to a block of code you can pass configure a block

   Skynet.configure(:SOMEOPTION => 'value') do
      run code here
   end

Config Options and current defaults:

 Skynet.configure(

ENABLE turns Skynet on or off.

SOLO turns on SOLO mode where Skynet can run in the current process without workers. Its almost a Skynet emulation mode
