[Catalyst] upstart script for Starman-based app?

[Jack Downes]

I do something similar with FreeBSD.  My install consists of a local
install of perl, cat, dbic, etc to get my app running.  I use nginx from
system configured as a proxy.  Now, I see a lot of people using Starman
with nginx and you are asking for Starman, so that's doable...  Anyway I
use nginx to proxy to the fastcgi process... I'm pretty sure this isn't
starman, but then, I don't know for sure.

My point in this is that I have not written rc scripts for my catalyst
app, and probably won't.  There exists another way which, for me as a
standard user on this system is pretty much perfect

I use @reboot in the crontab.  Perhaps this will work for you as well?
It's quite simple... perhaps overly so.

What follows is for starting a python app as an unprivileged user with
upstart, I don't think it would be too difficult to adjust it for your
starman based app:
