Any way you like is fine - as we're a ubuntu shop at work, we're  
mostly deploying things just using upstart to start a (not  
daemonizing) server - which works well for us.

You could alternatively try using CatalystX::Script::Server::Starman -  
this should make your normal myapp_server be starman, and then try the  
deamonize and pidfile options from the Catalyst script? Does that work  
for you any better (And I'll be more willing help to debug that as  
it's my code, and I don't use Server::Starter - sorry!)?
