I lied but found another short-term solution. As it turns out, ctrl+c to kill Django actually kills the Makefile which in turn kills Django. However it doesn't kill the background mongo process.

I did find the -j which lets you run multiple jobs in parallel.

mongo:
    $(MONGO) --dbpath=.

runserver:
    $(MANAGE) runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

run:
    $(MAKE) -j2 mongo runserver

Then doing this:

    make run

Does just what I want it to. So now my short-term solution does work. Also, it allows me to run more jobs, for example I could do -j3 sass mongo runserver. I still think the Foreman tool is too darn cool to not try out.
