foreman export upstart tmp

If for some reason the server is restarted, will the upstart scripts automatically start on boot? And is there a reason why it's exported to /tmp rather than /etc/init? Thanks!

The app user is not a sudoer, foreman command runs under this user (the app user has the correct env setup for foreman). launch on the other hand uses your local user ($USER) as mentioned here. So foreman exports the files to /tmp, your sudoer moves to /etc/init. Yes, the service will start automatically on boot. This is how foreman exports tasks by default:

start on runlevel [2345]

stop on runlevel [016]

Awesome. Thanks so much for the explanation! 👍
