It figures that right after putting up my RubyConf talk the server I host terralien.com on would bounce, and I would find out that the cron job I set up to re-spawn the site didn’t quite work. Oh, and that all this would occur whilst I was out all day at meetings. And on top of this, I would attempt to show a client our portfolio page in the midst of a sales meeting and get a 500 error. Oh Murphy, how I love thee, let me count the ways…
Moral of the story? Test your cron jobs, especially the ones that only happen at system boot. Only an idiot wouldn’t (d’oh!).
