1.9.2 and daemonization

[Jeff McFadden]

I'm on 1.9.2 and rails 2.3.10

When I run

$ rake:jobs work

everything is great. So the delayed handling is working just fine.


But when I run the

$ RAILS_ENV=development ./script/delayed_job start

I get

delayed_job: process with pid 7406 started.

But the process must be immediately dying, because it doesn't exist
when you look for it with 'ps', etc (and no progress is made on the
jobs in the db, of course).

Have anyone dealt with this? And solutions?

What version of delayed_job are you using?

I get the same behavior with the following versions:

ruby 1.9.2p0
rails 2.3.8
daemons-1.1.0
delayed_job-2.0.3

When I run `script/delayed_job run` I get the following:

Downgrading to daemons-1.0.10 seems to fix this problem for some
people. (Not for me).
