god can't start my daemon but I can manually

[Josh]

In a nutshell, god repeatedly tries to start my daemon and fails
"start command exited with non-zero code = 1", however if I copy/paste
that command and run it w/ sudo it gets started just fine, god even
recognizes that the new process is running.

http://www.pastie.org/651594 for details.

I've been trying to get more info out of the god log, specifically
what the error is that god is seeing, but I can't get any extra info
out of it, any thoughts on that?

Thanks!

Hi Josh

Stick a line like this into your god config block for the process your
monitoring.
Something like

w.log = '/path/to/filename'

that should give you more information

I'm running into the same issue with my daemon. No idea why it fails,
but I found a workaround.

Here's the original line from my god config:

w.start = "/path/to/my/app/bin/my_app.rb start"

Here's the line that works:

w.start = "cd /path/to/my/app; bin/my_app.rb start"

Weird... But at least this seems to be working.

You can use:

w.dir = "/path/to/my/app"

to control what directory the watcher is run from.

This will have the same effect as your "cd" with a little bit more
error checking.

Erik,

Thanks for the info! "w.dir" sounds like exactly the right solution.
