Checking for active Redmine processes on the server


At the beginning of the Ruby programming language, the Rails framework and various servers that were capable of running web applications written in the Ruby on Rails framework had garbage and memory leaks. Back then, companies, such as Twitter and 37signals launched web applications that gained mainstream popularity and also popularized Ruby on Rails web development. However, ordinary developers did not have administrators that were experienced enough and had troubles dealing with memory leaks and server problems. So, applications were deployed with watchdogs restarting them after they hit a certain number of processes or consumed a certain amount of megabytes. Nowadays, it is less likely that such a situation will occur, but for whatever reasons, you may end up needing to inspect your server.
