I recommend that you don't start jobs 'blind' from capistrano, and instead use capistrano to control a server-side process monitoring daemon such as monit, resque even comes with a sample monit file.
Also if that's not desirable, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup - quoting from the wiki page: "*nohup* is a POSIX <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX> command to ignore the HUP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGHUP> (hangup) signal, enabling the command to keep running after the user who issues the command has logged out" (effectively once your capistrano command hangs up, and finishes) - Lee -- * You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Capistrano" group. * To post to this group, send email to [email protected] * To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano?hl=en
