Rails - Nov 2005 - switchtower and scgi

Has anyone figured out a proper way to get switchtower and SCGI to
work together nicely?

Thanks,
Mike

it would work if the params to specify a path worked correctly, and if
you could pass a password (assuming you are not on a shared box).. both
of which i believe zed is working on 

in the meantime you can manually start it, and use switchtower to issue
a HUP signal to gracefully restart it

Actually, I managed to figure out a workable solution:

desc "Restart SCGI"
task :restart, :roles => :app do
  run "cd #{current_path} && scgi_ctrl restart" do |channel,
stream, data|
    if data =~ /^Password:/
      logger.info "#{channel[:host]} asked for password"
      channel.send_data "mypassword\n"
    end
  end
end

The only problem is, it always seems to fire off the last version of
the application... does anyone know if updating the symlink occurs
after the restart?  I guess that would be odd.
