[Mongrel] mongrel_rails cluster::stop not working

[Jonathan Rochkind]

When "mongrel_rails cluster::start" is run but does NOT actually 
succesfully start up your mongrels, it doesn't neccesarily give you any 
error messages. Is what I have noticed. I have had cluster::start fail 
but not give me any error messages.

So if cluster::stop is telling you "already stopped", I think that means 
that you never succesfully started it in the first place, you just 
didn't realize it.

So now the real question is, Why didn't it succesfully start in the 
first place, and how do you figure that out?  That's the trick, I'm not 
sure.
