I have no log in production mode with ruby script/daemons start. How can  
I make it work?

Have someone any idea. I always have the daemon log in my  
development.log, not in my production.log.

WHat are these daemons and how are you starting them? It could be as  
simple as setting the RAILS\_ENV environment variable (since that is  
one of the ways in which rails decides which environment to use).

I am getting that jobs table doesn’t exist in mybd\_development in  
development.log. I am using Backgrounfu. Certainly, I need a jobs table,  
and I have one in production, and I want to use it. I am using:  
RAILS\_ENV=production ruby script/daemons start

Do you need  
export RAILS\_ENV=production  
?
