Hi.

I am using Capistrano for my webapp and after deploy I need to restart  
memcached service. I am trying to do it with

sudo “/etc/init.d/memcached restart”

But it does not do it, even if memcached service existed - after  
deployment memcached service is off.

I did some researching and added

run “sleep 40”

right after sudo command and found that service process existed and  
memcached service started.

But it killed when SSH Capistrano finishes.

What could be reason of this strange behaviour? I thought services  
processes work independently from Capistrano SSH session. How to solve  
my problem??

My environment: Ubuntu Breezy, latest Capistrano.

Try:

sudo “nohup /etc/init.d/memcached restart &”
