[Mongrel] How to hack a mongrel cluster to restart in an alternating manner?

[Elliott Blatt]

Hello,

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to hack my mongrel_cluster to re-ststart
in an alternating manner.

Specifically, this soluiton:
http://blog.carlmercier.com/2007/09/07/a-better-approach-to-restarting-a-mongrel-cluster/#content

Which means I an call to mongrel_rails cluster::restart to do this:

mongrel_rails start 8001
mongrel_rails stop 8001

mongrel_rails start 8002
mongrel_rails stop 8002

mongrel_rails start 8003
mongrel_rails stop 8003

mongrel_rails start 8004
mongrel_rails stop 8004

Instead of:

mongrel_rails stop 8001
mongrel_rails stop 8002
mongrel_rails stop 8003
mongrel_rails stop 8004

[.....503....application offline.....]

mongrel_rails start 8001
mongrel_rails start 8002
mongrel_rails start 8003
mongrel_rails start 8004

(yuck!)

It's has been very difficult for me  to figure out where to install the
hacked mongrel_cluster_ctl that  Carl provides in his blog.
The execution path is not clear.

Would anyone be willing to give me some ideas?

Thank you,
Elliott
