We're using djb's daemontools (with the -encore patchset) to manage our
twisted and non-twisted (C++) daemons. Two advantages:
1. Biggest advantage for us: cross-platform. Every Linux / BSD distro I
know of has daemontools supported. You won't have to depend on
systemd/openrc etc. Slightly related: http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html
2. svc, daemontools' service manager is pretty straightforward to use.
See: https://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svc.html
3. Takes care of forking, logging, log rotation, etc. Can filter logs
based on a given regexp. Logs only stdout but if you do "exec 2>&1"
before starting your daemon, you'll get stderr too.
I also find it dead simple to integrate your app with daemontools.
Examples and other advantages: https://cr.yp.to/daemontools/faq/create.html
The encore patchset (https://untroubled.org/daemontools-encore/) adds
stuff like "email me when the process is restarted". It's not strictly
needed as you can implement it in your run script but it's a nice-to-have.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Burak
