I understand this is less traditional, but perfectly acceptable for low cost VPS hosting. The unicorn master does "reap/terminate" the child fork on startup, so you are forced to hold off on forking. _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - mongrel-unicorn@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
