Process monitoring - Python/Ubuntu/Linux

Question

I have a few processes I need to run in deamon mode, I just discovered upstart so I am starting to use it.

Are there any python libraries or applications that I could use to monitor and control these processes from an html interface?

I'm asking as I would like to prevent myself from reinventing the wheel. :)

Any ideas?

Please explain the programming portion of this question, as I must be missing it. If it doesn't have one, perhaps ask it on either http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com or http://linux.stackexchange.com — Oded, Dec 28 '10 at 13:45
There are some, but be aware that controlling processes, in a secure way, from a web interface is tricky. The web server typically runs as non-root, and won't be able to to control most other processes. — Keith, Dec 29 '10 at 08:25

I think psutil is what you are looking for.

Supervisor is pretty awesome. I haven't used the web interface though, it might suck.

+1 Supervisor is great. The webinterface was pretty from what I can remember. One could easily write another one and use XML-RPC to control supervisor, if it didn't suffice. – plundra Dec 28 '10 at 15:21
