currently i am running sidekiq manually.
bundle exec sidekiq -q mailer -q default -e qa -d -L /home/ec2-user/www/sps_qa/current/log/sidekiq.log 2>&1

Create an upstart job so that sidekiq is fired off during boot. There's an example in the sidekiq wiki. Change the params to match yours. https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/blob/master/examples/upstart/manage-one/sidekiq.conf
