I'll second this approach, with a slight nuance, which is to create a separate user for each app, so for example if you had an app called "myapp" create a user called myapp and put the app's files in /home/myapp. There are a couple advantages to this: first it's really easy to identify the relationships between applications and processes (e.g. when running top or ps), second you can give extremely fine grained permissions to each app, reducing the chance of privilege escalation if the security of one of your applications is breached.
