Supervisor is a client/server system that allows its users to control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems.
Install via easy_install or pip on Debian, not recommended to use apt-get.
easy_install is the part of python-setuptools. First install python-setuptools
$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
Then we can use easy_install to install from pypi
You need to use sudo with easy_install.
$ sudo easy_install supervisor
Or there is another module python-pip which will also help in installing from pypi with command
$ sudo pip install supervisor
Generate config file
# echo_supervisord_conf > /etc/supervisord.conf
Common out [inet_http_server] section will enable web interface
[inet_http_server] port = 127.0.0.1:9001 username = user password = 123
We can edit /etc/supervisord.conf to include our own config file like this
[include] files=/etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf
Start Supervisord
$ sudo supervisord
Start Supervisorctl
$ sudo supervisorctl
