title: Ruby on Rails: Error when running a rake task from initializer file
body: <p>I have the file config/initializers/custom.rb</p>
  
  <p>In the file, there is only one line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>`rake thinking_sphinx:start`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought this was supposed to just execute the line like when typing it from a command line.  With this line of code, when I run "ruby script/server", the server freezes and outputs no error messages.  Am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
