How to check if the worker killer is working?

Not currently sure how to check if the worker killer is working. Also, where can I check the logs of unicorn worker killer?

tail log/unicorn.stderr.log

So if that file does not exists, it means that the gem is not working? I am trying to understand if it is running on my project but this log is not beign generated.

@ndlbass I am probably too late, but adding something like this line in your unicorn.rb config file would create the file and log the output:
stderr_path File.expand_path('../../log/unicorn_stderr.log', __FILE__)

If you dont have a unicorn.rb file under config folder in the first place, just create one.
