Ununtu upstart script to start django_gunicorn with New Relic

django_newrelic_upstart.conf

description "launch django app with gunicorn and new relic monitoring"

start on net-device-up
stop on shutdown

respawn

# this cd's into your app's base dir
chdir /var/www/<appname>/ 
# this sets the path to your newrelic.ini file
env NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE=/var/www/<appname>/newrelic.ini
# this launches your app with gunicorn using new relic's admin tool 
# note: in this case, /env/bin is my virtualenv. By running the command from your virtualenv's interpreter, you don't need to 
# activate the env manually
exec /var/www/<appname>/env/bin/newrelic-admin run-program /var/www/<appname>/env/bin/gunicorn_django -w3

Notes:

*you'll need to make a few changes to make the paths match your environment.

• Will start your app on system startup
• Will stop your app on shutdown
• if you save this, for example, at: /etc/init/myapp.conf then: Start: start myapp. Stop: stop myapp. Restartrestart myapp

(where myapp matches to myapp.conf)

Thanks a lot for this.
