I was having a problem with cap deploys where you get:

Couldn’t find any pid file in … matching ‘dispatch.[0-9]\*.pid’

based on the suggestion of another post I implemented the following in  
deploy.rb which does successful terminate all the Ruby process but this  
includes God.

desc “restart override”  
task :restart, :roles =\> :app do  
run “killall -9 /usr/local/bin/ruby”  
end

I don’t think I’m supposed kill God. My mongrel.rb is supposed to just  
do a

god restart mongrels
