We're planning to use ActiveMQ as an asynchronous messaging layer between daemon processes written in various languages (connecting to ActiveMQ via STOMP). We need a convenient way to launch, shutdown, or restart the daemons and supervise them (restart them if they die). We also want to start multiple copies of daemon process, all listening to the same queue.
Can anyone recommend any free/open-source tools for doing this? AFAIK, with Linux init scripts, it always assumes a single daemon process and it may not automatically restart them if they die. What are people using to manage daemons? Thanks, Roger
