Where's the pid files?

[davidsteinsland]

I've specified an alternate location of the pid files, and they are showing up in the commands:

PIDFILE='/var/www/releases/1446826801/tmp/resque/14468555833567'

No file with that path exists, nor does the logs contain any information as to why it doesn't.
When no pid file exists, I cannot stop the workers via the console shell, I have to kill them manually.

On a second note, the LOGHANDLERTARGET is also set:

/var/www/releases/1446826801/tmp/logs/resque.log

This file doesn't exist either.

Are you using capistrano or similar tools for deployment ?

[davidsteinsland]

Yes, I'm using DeployBot.

Does deploybot have a shared folder ? Pid files should reside in a shared
folder, so that file persists between deploy.

The tmp folder is shared between deployment ?

Again, yes. Permissions are OK. Problem is not with my setup. As I said initially, the processes are started with the correct environment variables. So any failure should be logged, and it isnt.

Ca you post the full deployment log for DeployBot ?

You didn't mentioned it specifically, but if you mean CakeResque.Resque.tmpdir: I did a analysis recently and found out that these PID files are only very short lived and used to check if the worker properly started and are then removed from the file system:

1. pidfile created
   

   Cake-Resque/src/Shell/CakeResqueShell.php

   Line 825 in 3ea9043

   $pidFile = Configure::read('CakeResque.Resque.tmpdir') . str_replace('.', '', microtime(true));

2. worker spawned
   

   Cake-Resque/src/Shell/CakeResqueShell.php

   Line 860 in 3ea9043

   $this->_exec($cmd);

3. pidfile passed to _checkStartedWorker
   

   Cake-Resque/src/Shell/CakeResqueShell.php

   Line 873 in 3ea9043

   if (false !== $pid = $this->_checkStartedWorker($pidFile)) {

4. in _checkStartedWorker: pidfile removed
   

   Cake-Resque/src/Shell/CakeResqueShell.php

   Line 1072 in 3ea9043

   unlink($pidFile);

Only within redis the PIDs are permanently persisted for the lifetime of a worker.
