 not familiar with couchbeam though if it is has behaviour gen_*
 then the following will likely work.

  wm_sup.erl ...

init([]) ->

    ...

    CB = {couchbeam, 
	{couchbeam, start, []},
	permanent, 5000, worker, dynamic} ,

	Processes = [Web, ... , CB] ,

 {ok, { {one_for_one, 3, 10}, Processes} }
.
