That's my preference as well, I just prefer upstart to supervisord. Does anyone know how to start it offhand? It's probably just as easy as running the upstart daemon.

EDIT: Well, supervisord looks straightforward, and you only need a single config file for everything. You have swayed me, thank you for that. This will do perfectly, I will try it today.

Fantastic, thank you. This is the approach I'll follow, and that looks very well structured.

There's a great example here of a well done Dockerfile and implementation using supervisor.
