Thanks Jamis, I knew this would require me building a recipe of my own. To be honest I have no problem getting to the point where the app is deployable to the server and all the folders and symlinks are correct as far as my app goes. I've been a big fan (and user) of cap since switchtower :) The point at which I'm stuck is the daemonizing of the stand alone app. I guess this might not be the place to ask but I thought maybe someone had used capinstrano to do something similar before. i.e
- deploy stand alone app - getting it running in it's own process or re-start the existing - make sure it restarts if machine is re-booted - make sure it continues if someone logs out Duncan On Sep 5, 2:18 pm, "Jamis Buck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The existing deployment system probably won't be what you need, since > it assumes you're deploying a web-application. > > In order to determine how to use Capistrano to automate a task, the > simplest process is this: > > 1.
