The remote command reaper isn’t working:

sudo: /www/myapp/current/script/process/reaper: command not found

I tried to just “run” reaper on the actual web server and i get the  
same command not found. I see a reaper file in the directory above -  
but it’s not runnable. Am I missing something?

Perhaps it’s not executable?

One issue I had, early on, was files coming out of SCM that did not  
have the executable bit set. Thus I got “command not found” errors.

HTH,

I am going to guess that sudo isnt installed on the server?

I just ran into this problem…seems like a no brainer that sudo  
should be installed, but it wasnt.
