Mongrel Startup Script
I couldn't find one that did exactly what I wanted, so I cooked up this ruby script. Be sure to change app_dir and apps near the top to match your environment. On my ubuntu/debian server, this script resides in /etc/init.d. I ran "sudo update-rc.d -f mongrel defaults" to make it run on startup.

ARGV.first 18 apps.each do |path, port| 19 path = File.join app_dir, path 20 puts "Stopping #{path}..." 21 `mongrel_rails stop -c #{path} -P log/mongrel.pid` 22 end 23 end 24 25 if ['start', 'restart'].include?
