[Capistrano] Re: Starting a custom service with #run
It's an init-style script (start|stop|restart) but with a caveat that one needs to be in the project directory to start the service. Thus, the command line I'm running is: cd /opt/project sh /opt/project/etc/start_project.sh start When I run this in the capistrano shell, or while logged into the machine, the service starts right up and is happy. When I let Cap run through the script, it hits this line and seems to succeed, but no service is ever started.

[Capistrano] Re: Starting a custom service with #run
Jason, Might I suggest you alter your script to be - sh /opt/project/etc/start_project.sh start and for start_project.sh to do a CD as its first call? You should be able to do what you need, I have an example just like yours in my application, but it doesn't start services... You may find that your script finishes once the terminal disconnects, in which case you may need to screen (or similar) it - so it keeps running even after losing its parent shell. Can you run your command like this? - ssh m...@the-server.com -c 'cd /opt/project sh /opt/project/etc/start_project.sh start' which is effectively what Capistrano is doing via Net::SSH. - Lee 2009/1/13 Jason Roelofs jameskil...@gmail.com It's an init-style script (start|stop|restart) but with a caveat that one needs to be in the project directory to start the service.

[Capistrano] Re: Starting a custom service with #run
Can you run your command like this? - ssh m...@the-server.com -c 'cd /opt/project sh /opt/project/etc/start_project.sh start' which is effectively what Capistrano is doing via Net::SSH. Actually, I can. Running the script that way works perfectly fine, which is why I'm completely stumped. I've even tried making a separate script that itself does the cd ... script.sh start, then told capistrano to do: run sh the_starter_script.sh but it still doesn't work. For now I think I'm just going to jump back to the command line and run ssh myself. This doesn't make sense and I have to imagine I've messed something up somewhere, but just can't find it.
