This release updates daemon\_generator to be compatible with changes  
introduced in the Rails 1.2.x release.

Daemon\_generator leverages the daemons gem to provide a lightweight  
alternative to BackgrounDrb. It provides conventions, startup  
scripts, monitoring, etc for background processes that leverage your  
Rails environment.

Hi,

I tried to use the daemon\_generator … it installed fine, i was able to  
generate the daemon but apparently it does not start. I get

script/daemons:2:in ``': No such file or directory -  
script/…/lib/daemons/test\_ctl start (Errno::ENOENT)  
from script/daemons:2  
from script/daemons:2

Any idea what am i doing wrong?1?

Thank you,
