Ultimately if you want your application to come back after a restart, which I think is sensible for fault-tolerant deployments you have to involve the os provided init service.
Most of these services can be configured o restart you process on demand. Why involve more processes at that point. Auto restarts are great while developing but I do not see the need in production. If you have an automated deployment, which again I consider a good practice, you can just restart the app post-update. - Jacob Groundwater On 2013-01-12, at 2:48 PM, José F.
