I think Kibana 4 is a node app, right? Like lmz says, you have to write a script to tell it to start at boot. I ended up using Monit for that, but if I didn't know about Monit, I'd end up having to write a custom init script. Oh, and Tomcat apps can end up like that as well... Also, if I didn't want to configure a vhost, I don't need to. Just "apt-get install libapachemodphp(always forget the real package name...); copy app to /var/www;" Done. Apache is even automatically told to start at boot.
