I don't see any discussion in the mailing list or any mention in the
documentation about the --monitor flag, which can be passed to script/
delayed_job, which subsequently gets passed to Daemons.run_proc, which
will tell Daemons to "Monitor the programs and restart crashed
instances".

How useful and reliable is this feature? Is it any more or less
reliable than God or Monit? Does the behavior differ? It's interesting
that delayed_job supports it but I don't see any discussion of it
anywhere on the web (or really, not much discussion about the Daemons
feature itself.)

From what I could find about the Daemons feature, it looks like it
sets up a separate process that watches the process and restarts it…
as one would expect. This seems like a pretty ideal solution for a
project like mine that doesn't already have god or monit configured.

Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated, thanks!

+1 I wondered what it was.

When you'll know for sure, then please update the github wiki about that.
