+# mailman_connector upstart script
+
+# This is an example of an upstart script used to start/stop
+# the mailman connector.  Node is provided by nvm in a home directory, and
+# a pid file is kept so that monitoring daemons can watch the program.
+# Respawn is used as an additional technique.
+#
+# Stanza from Monit that monitors pid
+#
+# check process nodejs
+#        with pidfile /var/run/mailman_connector.pid
+#        start = "/sbin/start nodejs"
+#        stop = "/sbin/stop nodejs"
