w.start is not being executed

[ptc]

Hi,

I've written a GOD file to run a Ruby file:

God.watch do |w|
# watch with no pid_file attribute set
w.group = "AGroup"
w.name = "SomeName"
w.start = "ruby /path/to/ruby_file.rb"
end

But if I start GOD with -c myfile.god -D it says that SomeName has
been moved from "unmonitored" to "up", but ruby /path/to/ruby_file.rb
is never executed. I noticed that, because my ruby_file.rb has some
side effects on a memcached server and running it by GOD makes
memcached do nothing as ruby_file.rb never connects.

What's wrong with that?

Actually it even doesn't run if I try to monitor script/server:

God.watch do |w|
w.name = "some_name"
w.start = "/path/to/rails_dir/script/server"
w.grace = 10.seconds
w.behavior(:clean_pid_file)

w.start_if do |start|
start.condition(:process_running) do |c|
c.interval = 5.seconds
c.running = false
end
end
end

Solution:

One have to pass the scripts entire path:

w.start = "/usr/bin/ruby /path/to/script.rb"
