This configuration works with Upstart on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
The reason why it needs to be done this way (i.e. with the pre-start
and post-stop
stanzas), is because Upstart
is unable to track whever Unicorn master process re-execs itself on hot deploys. One can use it without hot-deploys
and run Unicorn in foreground also, it then only needs one exec stanza.
This presumes you are not using RVM, so no voodoo dances.
