at some point, things changed in the way the server works… i am not  
sure where…

but i used to use “mongrel\_rails start|stop” at the command line to  
restart the server…

it used to keep the pid in log/mongrel.pid

now, when you run ‘script/server start’ it keeps the pid somewhere  
else…

i would like to restart at the command line, but it seems like there is  
no stop or restart anymore…

does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

thanks!
