Plugins » Foreman Remote Execution

systemd has some nice ability to just take any old process and make it a service, but on el6, the process itself needs to handle forking. Otherwise on el6 what happens currently is this:

[root@centos6-koji init.d]# service smart_proxy_dynflow_core start
Starting smart_proxy_dynflow_core: 

And it'll stay there forever - with the process running, but never exit.

Foreman proxy might be a good example to look at, as its a sinatra app that can daemonize itself.
