Hi Iñaki, It conflicts/confuses the -P/--path setting in bin/unicorn_rails. An oversight on my part since I based unicorn_rails on script/server in Rails. So I suppose we're stuck with it for a while. > Which is the real advantage of using "pid" directive in config file rather > than "--pid"? Not much, pid files suck either way. Sadly there aren't many other options that's universally used/accepted. Using ENV["UNICORN_PID"] could be an option in the config file if you want to share it between the config and init script. -- Eric Wong _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
