Use --debug to keep carbon-cache in the foreground and you will have no issues.

This script didn't work very well for us; it tends to leave pid files around and refuses to restart. We've had better luck with this one: https://github.com/captnswing/chef-graphite/blob/master/templates/default/carbon-cache-upstart.erb

I'm looking to deprecate this version in favor of @dbeckham's better version which avoids some of the craziness by running twisted with --nodaemon rather than having to fight it:

(see graphite-project/carbon#144 for the actual request for first-class support in carbon-cache.py)
