I’m using capistrano to deploy my rails app to hostmonster, where using  
fastcgi.  
I see a lot of examples that the restart task in capistrano is

./script/process/reaper --action=restart --dispatcher=dispatch.fcgi

but rails 2.3.2 does not have process directory, so how can i define  
restart  
task?

They moved to [GitHub - rails/irs\_process\_scripts: WARNING: this repo is not maintained anymore, if you want to maintain it, please send an mail to rails-core. The extracted inspector, reaper, and spawner scripts from script/process/\*](http://github.com/rails/irs_process_scripts/tree/master)
