I have a very simple Python script that I'd like to be always running on my Ubuntu 12.04 server. I thought of using upstart + monit. The problem is that those tools seem rather complicated for a simple mortal like me, and I cannot find a simple example on the web.
Is upstart + monit overkill?
Does somebody know a simpler alternative, or a good tutorial for upstart + monit?
If I just want to be sure the script is always running, is monit required at all?
