How to shutdown a rails application and turning it on only when required

Question

I'm using my webspace to show a preview of my websites to my customers. Because I'm also hosting some websites, if I create some small dummy apps they still keep me up to 50MB (!!!) of RAM, and having a 256 limit, this is really bad.

Because I really don't use this websites often, but just to show a new feature to the customer, I would like to keep the configuration (basically my app directory) but I want also to shut down those apps avoiding a useless memory usage.

While I know I can simply run "restart" to resurrect the application, "stop" commands it's not working.

Any suggestion appreciated

Update

I would like to make this through a capistrano task. Basically I run this command remotely:

run "#{deploy_to}/bin/stop

But "stop" doesn't seem to actually stop my app.

If you comment out the cron job that restarts the app, then stop the app, it will not restart automatically. Hope that helps!

Sorry, I haven't been very precise in my question: I would like to be able to terminate my app through capistrano, so my idea was to run run "#{deploy_to}/bin/stop (like restart command), however running "stop" executable doesn't actually stops my app
