I use BluePill to manage processes like Slow Motion for Rails. In the BluePill log, I get the following message:
W, [2010-09-27T01:23:20.447053
W, [2010-09-27T01:23:20.447368
I, [2010-09-27T01:23:20.469165
So, he claims that the pid file is missing, but that does not mean that pid will be created when BluePill starts the Delayed Job process?
Update
To be more clear about this error, I can successfully run the command manually, but Bluepill will not be able to run the start command. When I run it manually, it looks like this:
rails@george:/srv/fsg_distro/current$ /usr/bin/env RAILS_ENV=production /usr/bin/ruby /srv/fsg_distro/current/script/delayed_job start
delayed_job: process with pid 17564 started.
When I launch it using Bluepill, it looks like this:

My tablet looks like this:
APP_ROOT='/srv/fsg_distro'
RAILS_ROOT='/srv/fsg_distro/current'
RAILS_ENV='production'
RUBY_EXEC='/usr/bin/ruby'
Bluepill.application("fsg_distro", :log_file => "/srv/fsg_distro/shared/log/bluepill.log") do |app|
app.process("delayed_job") do |process|
process.working_dir = RAILS_ROOT
process.start_grace_time = 30.seconds
process.stop_grace_time = 30.seconds
process.restart_grace_time = 30.seconds
process.start_command = "/usr/bin/env RAILS_ENV=#{RAILS_ENV} #{RUBY_EXEC} #{RAILS_ROOT}/script/delayed_job start"
process.stop_command = "/usr/bin/env RAILS_ENV=#{RAILS_ENV} #{RUBY_EXEC} #{RAILS_ROOT}/script/delayed_job stop"
process.pid_file = "#{APP_ROOT}/shared/pids/delayed_job.pid"
process.uid = "deploy"
process.gid = "deploy"
end
end
And my deferred work script looks like this:
ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/environment'
require 'delayed/command'
Delayed::Command.new(ARGV).daemonize
