Hijacking Passenger

[jeroenvandijk]

I'm not sure whether this is an issue or a feature, but I thought it would be handy to hijack a passenger rails process to debug it :) Is this theoretically possible? Anyway, I tried the following without success (I tried with and without sudo):

$ passenger-memory-stats

75.6 MB 1.0 MB /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.1.3/ext/apache2/ApplicationPoolServerExecutable

2828 ? 177.7 MB 102.5 MB Rails:

Gives pid 2828

So I try to hijack it :)

$ hijack 2828 --gdb-debug

Ends with:
