Nginx + PHP 5.3.3 (with php-fpm) – memory usage?

I recently bought Xen VPS (linode.com) with Debian 5.0 Lenny (i386), 512MB RAM. At the moment I have only three small websites (built with Drupal) with about 600 users per day in total running on this server.

As a web server I use nginx 0.7.67 (PHP 5.3.3 with php-fpm). An average memory consumption is about 100-105MB. Here is what Munin graph…

Is there a "standard" way to make daemon in Debian?

I need to create a daemon from the application in Debian. Is there any standard tool for this in Debian like “upstart” in Ubuntu? I need only start-stop commands, to start a program as a daemon with some options and a pid file and kill it with pid file.
