Jason,

I found out Rimuhosting supports console-over-ssh.  That is sweet!
Once I logged in I noticed this line:

command not found: mongrel_cluster_ctl

I guess /usr/local/bin is not in the boot PATH.

I symlinked the following

ln -s /usr/local/bin/mongrel_cluster_ctl mongrel_cluster_ctl
ln -s /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails mongrel_rails

and it worked like  a charm.

Thanks!
