No, that would be a horrible idea... first you need o figure out why the it went down and correct it, then you should look into something like God (not so Godly ironically) or monit or anything of the sorts that will hearbeat your site and kick it back on if it falls down. You should probably be tracking errors with something like honeybadger or airbrake so you can see this kind of shit coming. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
