To make it work you'd have to portably be able to take a PID and see if there's a mongrel running with that PID. You can't use /proc or /sys because that's linux only. You can't use `ps` because the OSX morons changed everything, Solaris has different format, etc. If you were to do this, you'd have to dip into C code to pull it off. Now, if you're only on linux then you could write yourself a small little hack to the mongrel_rails script that did this with info out of /proc. -- Zed A.
