Capistrano Command Worries

Rails
1

Hey all,

I have a problem that I cannot wrap my head around. I have a
capistrano task to kill my lighttpd process and restart it. Here is
the subtask, stop_lighttpd, that fails:
task :stop_lighttpd, :roles => :web do
run “kill -9 ps aux | grep lighttpd | grep #{deploy_to} | awk '{print $2}' > /dev/null”
end

I know for a fact that when stop_lighttp is ran. The process is
indeed killed and kill should give a zero output signal. However,
capistrano, doesn’t believe that it did. Here’s what it says:

pajaro:~/Projects/m_hub/m_hub luke$ cap restart_web
loading configuration /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb

Any clues? Thanks in advance,
