Running flower as a daemon

[mher]

Flower is an ordinary Tornado application and can be daemonized with the standard tools. Checkout this post http://www.charleshooper.net/blog/python-starting-tornado-apps-at-boot-using-upstart/ for details.

It would be nice if there was a sample init.d script. Even with the standard tools, there are many ways of getting it wrong. For example, the link above runs flower as root.

Here is a sample bash script that does not depend on upstart nor supervisord:
