hi,  
i could get workling to work on windows where it uses spawnrunner  
(workling-starling doesn’ work on windows from what i understand).  
but when i try to do the same things on my linux environment nothing  
works.

firstly, script/workling\_client start doesn’t do anything. if i use  
the -t option, i get this error -

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/daemons-1.0.10/lib/daemons/  
pidfile.rb:94:in `  
initialize’: No such file or directory - /var/www/foo/enlistment/trunk/  
serv  
er/Website/foo/vendor/plugins/workling/log/workling.pid (Errno::ENOE  
NT)

even if that doesn’t work, simple spawn thing should work. that also  
is not working as the code inside the worker doesn’t get executed at  
all.

am i missing something?

please let me know. any help would be appreciated…

thanks
