Subject: newbie, only starts process when using monit start <processname>

here's my monitrc file...

#===== startup
set daemon 60

#===== http access
set httpd port 2812 and
     allow admin:test

#===== log file
#set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
set logfile /var/log/monit.log

#===== rails_toucan_manager
check process rails_toucan_manager
    with pidfile "/home/me/workspace/rails_toucan/log/manager.pid"
    mode active
    start program = "/usr/bin/ruby 
/home/me/workspace/rails_toucan/script/runner2 --pidfile=log/manager.pid 
--environment=production 'Manager.start' &"





When I run "sudo monit start rails_toucan_manager", I see this in the log...

[CDT May  5 16:03:07] info     : Monit has not changed
[CDT May  5 16:03:27] error    : 'rails_toucan_manager' process is not 
running
[CDT May  5 16:03:37] error    : 'rails_toucan_manager' process is not 
running
[CDT May  5 16:03:40] info     : 'rails_toucan_manager' start: /usr/bin/ruby
[CDT May  5 16:03:47] info     : 'rails_toucan_manager' process is 
running with pid 8214



now when I kill process 8214, I see this in the log...

[CDT May  5 16:12:48] error    : 'rails_toucan_manager' process is not 
running
[CDT May  5 16:12:58] error    : 'rails_toucan_manager' process is not 
running




What I REALLY want is for monit to start the process !  Thats the whole 
point.  I must be doing something really dumb.  I am also running on 
ubuntu feisty.



Here is the output from monit -Iv...
