SiriProxy Upstart Script

README.txt

Some things to note:

I'm running SiriProxy on port 2000 using a non-privileged user. I'm then redirecting internal network traffic 
using iptables from port 443 to port 2000. This is more secure than running SiriProxy as root. I also have it 
set up to respawn SiriProxy when it dies (which happens pretty regularly). Finally, I'm dumping all the output 
to /tmp/siriproxy (in theory), but I don't seem to get output to that log. Which is unfortunate. Maybe someone 
can explain what's wrong there. I'm really not an expert in Upstart either. :-)

As usual, simply copying/pasting this stuff anywhere will get you pretty much nowhere. You need to have some idea 
what you're doing to make this work. Good luck!

Did you modify the file to suit your computer's configuration? That file I created is very specific to my computer, as mentioned in the gist.

Looks like this is probably way out of date, but I had two comments.

1. If you're running as a non-root user, how do you get the proxy server to start on port 53 without using rvmsudo?
2. If this really is a copy/paste of your config file, your log probably isn't working because you don't have a space between your logfile name and the redirect command.

Thanks so much for putting this together.
