This script touches the restart.txt file in the /current directory. By Capistrano convenction, current is a symlink to the most recently deployed application instance and this is the folder configured in your Apache virtual host. mod_rails requires the restart.txt file to be stored at tmp/restart.txt path from the document directory and this is exactly what this script does.

Touching the restart.txt file in a NEW directory (as this script does) would seem to me to confuse the mod_rails module - is it smart enough to drop the old rails environment and use the new one under the new release directory?
