I'm not that familiar with bundler, but it seems like it probably is going to fork and exec your application, right? In this case, you can specify both the path, home directory, and user to run the SMF service as. While While you can write the raw xml yourself, most folks find it a bit easier to use tools smfgen (https://github.com/davepacheco/smfgen/) or manifold (in pkgsrc) to automate the process of writing the XML file. > On the equivalent Linux environment we would normally use something like > monit to do this but I couldn't find monit in the packages on SmartOS.

SMF is the best solution on SmartOS, thought it's far from perfect. Importantly it uses the OS native facilities (contracts http://illumos.org/man/4/contract) to track all groups of processes, no matter how many children exist or if they try to daemonize or not. Hopefully this helps, let us know if you have additional issues.
