Well, I've rechecked the code and it seems simple: the grandparent process wait listening into the pipe. The master process would write in the pipe if all goes ok, then grandparent would exit with 0. If the master process fails it closes the pipe, the grandparent detects it and exits with 1 (error) :) -- Iñaki Baz Castillo <i...@aliax.net> _______________________________________________ Unicorn mailing list - mongrel-unicorn@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-unicorn Do not quote signatures (like this one) or top post when replying
