Selenium JAR server best practices

Hello XI Support
What is the best practice of running Selenium server (2.53) on remote Linux servers?
- which account should be used?
- Should we autostart one (how with java?)
- Should we cron one (does it create other instances or find one already running?)
- Should we monitor one via event handler (and restart if stopped/crashed)?
Thank you

Most of these questions are best asked on a forum dedicated to Selenium. We have documentation for how to use it, but we're not the experts by any means.
In regards to the last question about event handlers, you wouldn't typically use an event handler to check a service. A simple service attached to a host should suffice, but you can certainly use an event handler as you suggested the restart it.

There appears to be many different Selenium forums online, but I'm not sure which one is official. Perhaps one of them will help, though.
