runit is what the Phusion Docker base image http://phusion.github.io/baseimage-docker/ http://phusion.github.io/baseimage-docker/ is using, and it's the perfect tool to start and supervise containerized apps.
I also love the fact that it can wait for a service to run (in order to wait for dependencies), and that stuck services can be restarted in a more radical way than a single TERM signal.
