It may be easier now that we have the "working_directory" directive now, but configuration changes also change (or unset) the "working_directory" which adds to the confusion. We could try allowing it and see what happens, I suppose... [1] - in my experience with writing daemons, directory changes make everything much harder all around. -- Eric Wong _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - mongrel-unicorn@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
