Releases, exrm and upstartt

[Federico Carrone]

Hi,

We are using exrm to generate releases. I am Erlang dev and I have been coding for only a few months in Elixir. 

I would like to know how the community is managing releases and upstart/unix process monitoring. We are running the release in the foreground with /usr/local/<appname>/bin/<appname> foreground so that  upstart can get the actual pid of the process and if the pid gets killed, restart it, etc. The problem with this is that we can never ssh into the box and do an “<appname> attach"

Thanks in advance,

Federico.
