Backgroundrb devel - Feb 2007 - Deploying with capistrano issue. Resolution !

ok, i was wrong. the failure on deployment using capistrano is 100%  
using these commands

## Our Handlers
desc "Restart BackgrounDrb"
task :restart_uploader, :roles => :app do
   run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb stop"
   run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb start"
end

here is the console post deploy on the remote server
########
[current]$ script/backgroundrb console
irb: warn: can''t alias jobs from irb_jobs.
irb(#<BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan:0xb7b74088>):001:0> loaded_worker_classes
=> []
irb(#<BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan:0xb7b74088>):002:0> exit

Now ill stop it and start it again on the remote server
########
[current]$ script/backgroundrb stop
[current]$ script/backgroundrb start
[current]$ script/backgroundrb console
irb: warn: can''t alias jobs from irb_jobs.
irb(#<BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan:0xb7c13ed0>):001:0> loaded_worker_classes
=> ["Mp3Worker", "FlvWorker"]

i DID find however that the following worked. seems i HAVE to be in  
the current directory in order for it to start properly. maybe this  
will help in tracking down the issue?

desc "Restart BackgrounDrb"
task :restart_backgroundrb, :roles => :app do
   run "cd #{current_path} && script/backgroundrb stop"
   run "cd #{current_path} && script/backgroundrb start"
end

Somewhat related to the deployment issue, I like to make sure 
Backgroundrb is ready before launching workers and that''s what this
code
does.  It lives in my ApplicationController.

#
# Confirm Backgroundrb is running and start if dead.
#
def prepare_backgroundrb
   begin
     # try to contact Backgroundrb in some way
     MiddleMan.gc!((Time.now-10.years).to_time)

   rescue
     begin
       `cd #{RAILS_ROOT} && script/backgroundrb start`
       sleep(10)
     rescue
       log.error("unable to start Backgroundrb: #{$!}")
     end
   end
end
