Hi John, Building on Ray's answer to use Upstart, I've recently started using a Git-based deployment method that essentially uses a Git post-receive hook to re-deploy the application with a simple git push.
To set-up, create a bare repo and a working tree on the deploy host, and the relevant Upstart job. We then deploy using *`git push deployhost:path/to/deploy-repo.git master:deploy`*. When a push is received on the deploy branch, the hook on the remote repo updates the working tree, and restarts the Upstart job. (I use SystemD services in place of Upstart when I get the choice - IMO it beats Upstart hands-down, but that's an aside!) I've put the post-receive hook at https://gist.github.com/james-henderson/6263386 - hope this helps!
