Zeus error message cryptic.

Zeus wouldn't start.
It wouldn't tell me why exactly.
I tried rails s and got the cause right away.
Improve zeus to have the same level of error accuracy as rails.

I think the reason you don't see an error immediately is that zeus simply starts a daemon. It doesn't run any command after running the reloader process. In the case of rails s, you are actually calling the "start the server" command. The equivalent procedure in case of zeus would be a 2-step process: "start zeus; run zeus server". You would've seen the same error if you had run zeus server or any other command.

So the error messages in this case are accurate, just that they are not explicit with zeus daemon process.

Thanks for your response. I appreciate the effort you put in to explain.

I run zeus server and got notified that zeus wasn't running. So I run zeus start and got the cryptic error message. Perhaps we signal: killed.
How can we make zeus give a much more helpful error message like rails did?
