quick fix: add these lines to your application-start.py (assuming you
used quickstart)
import os
pid = file('app.pid', 'w')
pid.write(str(os.getpid()))
pid.close()
That should at leat give you a pid file. Whether the cherrypy server
responds properly to the usual unix signals, I don't know, but its a
start. It's running via python, so it should do.
If you're on linux and can use start-stop-daemon, that can search for
processes via name or by executable, removing the need for a pid file.
