Introduction

This script is used to restart unicorn instances. Typically useful for when multiple unicorn instances are required.

Setup

Out of the box, bundler is required. Though the init_unicorn function can be edited in order to run specific commands in order to initialize the unicorn instance.

Within the script, there are 4 variables that need to be set:

1. Set the APP_PATH variable to point to your rails application
2. Set the PID_FILE variable to point to where your pid file will be placed.
3. Set the UNICORN_CONFIG variable to point to your unicorn.rb file
4. Set the RAILS_ENV variable

Usage

run_unicorn on
run_unicorn off
run_unicorn restart
