This is for launching Resque-web on Solaris and keeping it running with SMF. Replace the strings in all caps with your info as needed.

Note: the app is bound to localhost and run separately from your Rails app. This keeps them decoupled and secure. To connect, you create an ssh tunnel to the box and open localhost:PORT in your browser. This way you don't have to mess with creating another auth scheme in Rack just for Resque. It also means Resque-web is run as a separate process that you can monitor apart from your Rails app.

I'm not a Solaris expert. If you see something in the SMF that can be improved, please say so.
