Monitored

add monitoring (includes 1.3.1 ES atm)
Upstart (at least the version included in 12.04 onwards) will by default handle output from the process and direct it to /var/log/upstart/$name.log and handle rotation for us.

I think we should do that instead of using shell redirects. The one downside is that it might not seperate stdout and stderr. (I can't check right now)
