At the beginning of the day, I need to start passenger, mysqld, memcached, redis, and some resque workers for development. I will be adding more services, and the aliases I have set up will soon not be enough. How do you manage starting and stopping your development services?
Supervisord<p>Command line client, web based UI and HTTP API. Everything you could need for monitoring, logging and restarting processes<p>It even has the ability to restart processes if/when they die. Example; in our development we can send a trigger to our application that just called exit 0; and restarts the application (useful for debugging)
