Re: as uid USERNAME and gid GROUPNAME not working

[forsaleinsf]

thanks for the response.

the resque process is not running when i start monit.

/var/log/messages:

Feb 21 17:18:02 task01 monit[32390]: 'resque' process is not running 
Feb 21 17:18:02 task01 monit[32390]: 'resque' trying to restart 
Feb 21 17:18:02 task01 monit[32390]: 'resque' start: 
/data/apps/smp/shared/start-resque 
Feb 21 17:18:32 task01 monit[32390]: 'resque' failed to start 

when i look in the app log for the process it shows:

rake aborted!
Bundler couldn't find some gems.Did you run `bundle install`?
/data/apps/smp/current/Rakefile:4
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
(in /data/apps/smp/releases/20110218170613)


which is an indication that the process is not being run by deploy - i get this 
log only when i run the process on the cli as root.

not sure if i missing something else
