Here is a port of Foreman to shell: http://hecticjeff.net/shoreman/ It 
doesn't look much different than the shell code you had but it does 
allow you to use the Procfile format. I love how terse shell scripts can 
be, shoreman is only ~75 lines of code including comments.

There is also a Python port, https://github.com/nickstenning/honcho
