Thanks for the tip! It seems that the other issue I'm having with the
workling and ultrasphinx start calls is related to Monit resetting
environment variables. When starting ultrasphinx I get the following error
message:
couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~'
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.4/lib/rake.rb:2390:in
`expand_path'
Is there a way to run monit without it clearing env variables and resetting
$PATH?
Thank you!,
John
