Why don’t you add this to your deploy.rb file instead of using spinner
script?
set :mongrel_conf,
“/var/www/#{application}/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml”
namespace :deploy do
namespace :mongrel do
[ :stop, :start, :restart ].each do |t|
desc “#{t.to_s.capitalize} the mongrel appserver”
task t, :roles => :app do
#invoke_command checks the use_sudo variable to determine how to
run th$
invoke_command “mongrel_rails cluster::#{t.to_s} -C
#{mongrel_conf}”, 
end
end
end
desc “Custom restart task for mongrel cluster”
task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
deploy.mongrel.restart
end
desc “Custom start task for mongrel cluster”
task :start, :roles => :app do
deploy.mongrel.start
end
desc “Custom stop task for mongrel cluster”
task :stop, :roles => :app do
deploy.mongrel.stop
end
end
It works great for me … I haven’t tried achieving the same with your
approach because “I didn’t get it” when reading about it for the first
time… This works, because it overrides the default tasks for restarting
mongrel. So it works with “cap deploy” and of course with “cap
deploy:mongrel:start” etc.
Maybe I’m wrong… would be grateful if someone commented on the
differences between spinner script and this.
bye!
