Hello,

I use the ruby environment variable RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT='90000000' to
start unicorn inside a init.d service and I get the impression that
when I run kill -USR2 `cat tmp/pids/unicorn.pid` in another shell this
variable is no longer used.

So the new master started by USR2 preserve the environment from the
old master or the environment variables need be set on the shell it is
invoked?

cheers,
bráulio

introversão do fluxo imaginativo cósmico. No âmbito pessoal, quando
uma pessoa imagina algo em sua mente, naquele momento, essa pessoa é a
única proprietária daquilo que ela imagina, e ninguém mais. Quando um
ser humano criado mentalmente caminha por um milharal também
imaginado, a pessoa imaginada não é a propriedade desse milharal, pois
ele pertence ao indivíduo que o está imaginando. Este universo foi
criado na imaginação de Brahma, a Entidade Suprema, por isso a
propriedade deste universo é de Brahma, e não dos microcosmos que
também foram criados pela imaginação de Brahma. Nenhuma propriedade
deste mundo, mutável ou imutável, pertence a um indivíduo em
particular; tudo é o patrimônio comum de todos."

USR2 should not change environment variables besides UNICORN_FD
and PWD (if working_directory is used).

On most Linux versions, you can check the initial environment of a
running process by inspecting the environ file for the process:

	tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$PID/environ

This may not reflect environment changes after the process is started.

However, you can use ENV inside Ruby code to check that.  Maybe add a
private Rack endpoint to show ENV.inspect output to your app to check
this...

Actually, I noticed this doesn't even reflect ENV changes on
fork from Ruby (but system("env") displays the correct result
from a forked process) using Linux 4.0.6

So use ENV from Ruby instead :)
