Subject: [PATCH] Start the server if another user has a PID matching our stale pidfile.
Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:34:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJ4ZL52jVH50jMAEmRHKsQSt_1N_mRYRRmq1Go2BqYx9AQe8Uw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If unicorn doesn't get terminated cleanly (for example if the machine
has its power interrupted) and the pid in the pidfile gets used by
another process, the current unicorn code will exit and not start a
server. This tiny patch fixes that behaviour.
