Foreman auto restart

Question

In my production server, I'm using ruby foreman to run multiple processes, I just want my application to keep working, even if one of the processes down, I want my processes to keep working even if one down , is there any tricky way to restart the process or even not to stop all the processes in case one went down ? I mean in production level I want the solution to be stable enough, is that possible without Upstart ? thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should not be using foreman itself for production - it is only intended as a development tool. Instead, you can use something like god with my foreman_god gem in production.

Alternatively, you can use foreman to export config files for other process monitoring systems, for example upstart.

Answer 2

You can monitor your foreman process with another program like http://mmonit.com/monit/ . But somehow you'll find that monitoring a process which monitor other processes is kinda strange.
