delayed_job.rb: Capistrano tasks to "properly" start/stop/restart the delayed_job daemon.
#
# NOTICE: The stop/restart tasks won't work properly due to a bug in the daemons gem
# unless you use the ghazel-daemons gem by putting this in your environment.rb file:
#
# config.gem "ghazel-daemons", :lib => "daemons"
# gem "ghazel-daemons"
# require "daemons"
#
# This will force-load the 'ghazel-daemons' gem and make sure it's used instead of
# the 'daemons' gem. It works even with the 'daemons' gem installed, so you won't
# Author: Pieter Noordhuis
# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
#
# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby
