launching background process in capistrano task

Question

capistrano task

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


        

Answer 1

My simple solution would be make svscanboot.sh file at remote server with whatever code you want to run. In your case

svscanboot >/tmp/svscanboot.log 2>&1

In cap rake task add this

run "sh +x somefile.sh &"

this works well for me.
