I'm currently preparing to deploy a stand-alone CherryPy app. While I could just hack together a boot script and shoehorn it into the system's startup sequence, I'd rather find a more elegant solution.

What I need to do is:

  • Start the app as a daemon during boot
  • Restart it if it crashes
  • Monitor CPU/memory usage

I'm sure there must be an existing solution for this. Any suggestions?

Specific to cherrypy, it has daemonizer and pidfile plugins. And the cherryd script supports them as command-line options.

More generally, monit and supervisord are popular choices for process monitoring. See this question.
