Hi David, Thanks for all your help. It now makes sense how it all works. Unfortunately for me it doesn't work and I don't think it is because of mongrel_cluster.
After you mentioned that I should have a symbolic link to mongrel_cluster_ctl in /usr/bin, I realized that maybe the whole Ruby environment is not available at boot time. I installed Ruby in a shared location, but there are not symbolic links in /usr/bin to any of the Ruby utilities. To test this, I created a small Ruby script which write "TEST" to a file in /tmp; I call this script from a bash script which I put in the /etc/init.d directory and which I configured using /sbin/chkconfig (similar to the setup of mongrel_cluster). Guess what?! No file is created in the /tmp directory at boot time. So now my question becomes: what is the proper way of installing Ruby on a Linux machine? I did create a symbolic link to "ruby" in /usr/bin, but I don't think that's enough. What other symbolic links do I need? Thanks, Tiberiu
