Question

capistrano task

namespace :service do
  desc \"start daemontools (svscan/supervise/svscanboot)\"
  task :start, :roles => :app do
    sudo \"svscanboot&a         


        

Answer 1

Try forking the process as explained here: Spawn a background process in Ruby

You should be able to do something like this:

job1 = fork do
  run "svscanboot"
end

Process.detach(job1)
