I have been playing with Starling quite a bit recently. Like most of my deployed tools, I want to be confident it stays running. Here is a run script for Starling under DaemonTools:
#!/bin/sh
# This is /home/starling/service/run
exec 2>&1
echo "Starting..."
PORT=22122
IP=0.0.0.0
USER=starling
HOME=/home/starling
exec setuidgid $USER \
starling -v -v -v -h $IP -p $PORT -P $HOME/starling.pid -q $HOME/queue 2>&1
You will want to keep the logs too. Here is the log/run script:
#!/bin/sh
# This is /home/starling/service/log/run
exec multilog t s1000000 n10 ./main
Note that you will need to create the starling user before using these scripts, or just update them to use an existing user.
