Hi All, Is there any way in Rails to have the ENV reload "lib" files without having to restart the server? I'm working with some classes that I have inside a module in "lib".

Hi All, I have a bit of a situation. I've consumed about fourty-eleven different tutorials/books/videos on Capistrano, and none of them touch on out-of-the-norm cases.
