# When sent a USR2, Unicorn will suffix its pidfile with .oldbin and
# immediately start loading up a new version of itself (loaded with a new
# version of our app). When this new Unicorn is completely loaded
# it will begin spawning workers. The first worker spawned will check to
# see if an .oldbin pidfile exists. If so, this means we've just booted up
# a new Unicorn and need to tell the old one that it can now die. To do so
# we send it a QUIT.
#
# Using this method we get 0 downtime deploys.

# Unicorn master loads the app then forks off workers - because of the way
# Unix forking works, we need to make sure we aren't using any of the parent's

defined?(ActiveRecord::Base) and ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
# Redis and Memcached would go here but their connections are established
# on demand, so the master never opens a socket
