<p><strong><a href="http://dustin.github.com/2010/02/28/running-processes.html">Running Processes</a></strong></p> I’ve been searching for a good solution to this problem (“run this program, and restart it if it falls over”) for years. I’m currently using god which works pretty well, but according to this article I should be learning upstart instead. It never ceases to amaze me how difficult this is, and how obtuse the tools are. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/god">god</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/linux">linux</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/processes">processes</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ubuntu">ubuntu</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/unix">unix</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/upstart">upstart</a></p>
