Description

After starting resque-pool via

bundle exec resque-pool --daemon --environment production

resque-pool.stdout.log is populated without issue, but resque-pool.stderr.log complains

log writing failed. can't be called from trap context
log writing failed. can't be called from trap context
log writing failed. can't be called from trap context
log writing failed. can't be called from trap context
log writing failed. can't be called from trap context
log writing failed. can't be called from trap context 

It's related to logging inside a signal handler--resque and resque-scheduler have migrated to mono_logger to work around this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Research direction

Start by running bundle exec resque-pool --daemon --environment production and compare resque-pool.stdout.log with resque-pool.stderr.log. Read the linked resque issue and mono_logger project for the signal-handler logging context, then trace the pool's logging path. Done means daemon startup no longer produces “log writing failed. can't be called from trap context” errors.
