I'm trying to deploy a rails app using vlad the deployer.

I'm using nginx and passenger.

I have an issue with the vlad:start\_app task.

When I deploy I get the following issue 

```
touch: cannot touch `/var/www/mysite.com/releases/20100623130302/tmp/restart.txt': No such file or directory
rake aborted!
execution failed with status 1: ssh mysite.com touch /var/www/mysite.com/releases/20100623130302/tmp/restart.txt

```

The issue is obvious in that the 20100623130302 in releases does not exist.

I would rather use the following task but cant override the default vlad:start\_app task by placing this in my config/deploy.rb file.

```
namespace :vlad do

  desc 'Restart Passenger'
    remote_task :start_app do
    run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
  end

end

```

Any help appreciated. The options I though of are to either get the default vlad task to work or someway to override the default vlad task.
