Is it possible to add flower to the celery daemon?
Below is my celery config file, I tried added flower config to the CELERYD_OPTS variable but it has failed.
or is there another command I can add to the config file to get flower up and running with celery?
# Names of nodes to start
# most people will only start one node:
CELERYD_NODES="worker1"
# but you can also start multiple and configure settings
# for each in CELERYD_OPTS
#CELERYD_NODES="worker1 worker2 worker3"
# alternatively, you can specify the number of nodes to start:
#CELERYD_NODES=10
# Absolute or relative path to the 'celery' command:
CELERY_BIN="/usr/local/bin/celery"
# App instance to use
# comment out this line if you don't use an app
CELERY_APP="itapp"
# or fully qualified:
#CELERY_APP="proj.tasks:app"
# Where to chdir at start.
CELERYD_CHDIR="/itapp/itapp/"
# Extra command-line arguments to the worker
CELERYD_OPTS="flower --ports 5555 --time-limit=300 --concurrency=8"
# Configure node-specific settings by appending node name to arguments:
#CELERYD_OPTS="--time-limit=300 -c 8 -c:worker2 4 -c:worker3 2 -Ofair:worker1"
# Set logging level to DEBUG
#CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG"
# %n will be replaced with the first part of the nodename.
CELERYD_LOG_FILE="/var/log/celery/%n%I.log"
CELERYD_PID_FILE="/var/run/celery/%n.pid"
# Workers should run as an unprivileged user.
# You need to create this user manually (or you can choose
# a user/group combination that already exists (e.g., nobody).
CELERYD_USER="celery"
CELERYD_GROUP="celery"
# If enabled pid and log directories will be created if missing,
# and owned by the userid/group configured.
CELERY_CREATE_DIRS=1

I suggest run them with supervisord
or other process control system, rather than OS init script and start-stop-daemon.
Both worker and flower should run as daemon process side by side, there are many docs on how to run celery worker with supervisord, run flower is simply to add another program section, replace worker command with corresponding flower launching command like celery flower -A itapp --ports 5555 --time-limit=300 --concurrency=8
