I think both of these solutions are undesirable, relying on the config file path is not ideal and running with different users is practical in my environment. Both these point out the need for some feature to distinguish running applications, I think adding a configurable application name/tag would be very useful, not sure how much work it would be but I can look at adding a patch if there is interest. --Paul _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
