Procer monitored process keeps getting restarted

I'm trying to use Procer to run gitit[1], a wiki software.

The run file is as follows:
----
$ cat profiles/gitit/run
#!/bin/sh

DEPLOY=/home/pradeep/deployment
SOURCE=/home/pradeep/devwiki

cd $SOURCE
gitit -f devwiki.conf &
echo $! > $DEPLOY/profiles/gitit/gitit.pid
----

The child process (gitit) runs fine when started using the run script alone,
but when run with procer, it keeps restarting.

The error.log

-----
$  tail -f profiles/error.log

What am I missing here?

Never mind. I fixed it.

I had to provide the explicit path to the executable.
Interestingly, the error.log did not say anything about the actual
error, but the
run.log did.

Isn't it better to print the error messages in the error.log

ie.,
/home/pradeep/deployment/profiles/gitit/run: line 7: gitit: command not found

Can you put in a ticket for it?  I'll be hitting procer soon:
