Well I "fixed" it by adding the following switches to yaws:
--heart --daemon --runmod booter
The heart of this [no pun intended] is the runmod switch. There is a
file booter.erl in the directory with a function start/0. When yaws is
starting up, it inspects the --runmod switch and runs the start/0
function inside of the booter.erl file. The start/0 function is the
famous boot/0 function in start.erl, renamed to conform with yaws
requirements.
Thus when the server is started, there is a heart process that keeps
it up and because of the --runmod switch, the application is always
available as long as the server is available.
