I would use something like god (http://god.rubyforge.org/) to watch the application for memory problems and the like. You could easily use this daemon to check for a "restart.txt" file and if it exists: 1. erase the file 2. restart application Your restart method in the controller is just: def restart File.open('restart.txt','wb') {} end and don't forget the equivalent of before_filter :check_is_admin, :only => [:restart] Without a daemon running, you can crash your app fine but it will lay down dead without any hope for resurection...
