Process monitoring - Python/Ubuntu/Linux [closed]

Question

I have a few processes I need to run in deamon mode, I just discovered upstart so I am starting to use it.

---

Are there any python libraries or applications that I could use to monitor and control these processes from an html interface?

I'm asking as I would like to prevent myself from reinventing the wheel. :)

---

Any ideas?

Please explain the programming portion of this question, as I must be missing it. If it doesn't have one, perhaps ask it on either ubuntu.stackexchange.com or linux.stackexchange.com – Aramenta

There are some, but be aware that controlling processes, in a secure way, from a web interface is tricky. The web server typically runs as non-root, and won't be able to to control most other processes. – Narcissus

Answer 1

Supervisor is pretty awesome. I haven't used the web interface though, it might suck.

+1 Supervisor is great. The webinterface was pretty from what I can remember. One could easily write another one and use XML-RPC to control supervisor, if it didn't suffice. – Hooknose

Answer 2
