Stopping supervisord: Shut down

first of all, type this on your console or terminal

ps -ef | grep supervisord

You will get some pid of supervisord just like these

root 2641 12938 0 04:52 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto supervisord

root 29646 1 0 04:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/supervisord

if you get output like that, your pid is the second one. then if you want to shut down your supervisord you can do this

kill -s SIGTERM 29646

hope it helpful. ref: http://supervisord.org/running.html#signals

sudo unlink /tmp/supervisor.sock

This .sock file is defined in /etc/supervisord.conf's [unix_http_server]'s file config value (default is /tmp/supervisor.sock).

$ ps aux | grep supervisor
alexamil         54253   0.0  0.0  2506960   6440   ??  Ss   10:09PM   0:00.26 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/supervisord -c supervisord.conf

so we can use:

$ pkill -f supervisord  # kill it
