We have unique problem. We live in India where we have power outage for at least 10-20 mins - once or twice a day. We run a small demo server where I deploy "in progress" apps for my clients. We have been using and evangalising RoR since 8-10 months now in our organisation.
I have mongrel configured to serve out the web apps and it dutifully stops and starts during system shutdown/reboot. The problem is when I have an unexpected power outage. (I know I should have a UPS/power backup and I will be getting one soon but the problem still cannot be ignored and a UPS is at best a temporary solution.) When power is cut off to the server, the 'mongrel.xxxport.pid' files remain in the respective log directories and prevent the mongrel servers from starting up. I have to manually delete them and restart the mongrels. Is there any way I can avoid manual intervention? (I could write a script to delete the pids and put it in run level 3 but that is pretty ugly.) This problem does not exist with any other server - apache/postfix/subversion..... and I do not think it should exist with mongrel either. Do let me know if I can help. I have done socket programming in 'C' before and have really smart people with ruby knowledge.
