Automatic daemonization and monitoring? This sounds like exactly what I'm after.

I've been calling twisted like so for a project: explicitly setting
the process id, logger and source file here. And relying on a separate
cron script to check if all is well:

twistd --pidfile=$PIDFILE --syslog --prefix=program_name --python
program_name.py

Would using a .tac file make some of these flags redundant?

All I could found about .tac files is here -
http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/application.html

Are there any other resources where I can found out about the
advantages of using .tac files instead the way I've bee doing stuff?
