Thought I'd drop a note about my experience with running mongrel directly under the solaris service management framework. So far I'm very impressed. SMF is the solaris replacement for the init system. It's tied much more closely to the OS and for instance doesn't use pid files. I've found you can completely eliminate mongrel cluster, and for that matter the normal monitoring system like monit. Another nice feature is that solaris lets you easily give start/stop privileges to non root users, so no need to use sudo when restarting mongrel via capistrano.
