How to automatically start supervisord on Linux (Ubuntu)

Solution 1:

Actually, I found one that works here http://gist.github.com/176149. To install it:

sudo curl https://gist.github.com/howthebodyworks/176149/raw/88d0d68c4af22a7474ad1d011659ea2d27e35b8d/supervisord.sh > /etc/init.d/supervisord

to run it

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/supervisord

and to automatically schedule it, do

sudo update-rc.d supervisord defaults

Make ensure correct pid in /etc/supervisord.conf which is mapped in /etc/init.d/supervisord

example: pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid

Stop and Start work properly

service supervisord stop
service supervisord start

Solution 2:

I created an upstart script for ubuntu 9.10

For example I installed supervisor into a virtual environment, then start and control supervisor from upstart.

create a text file /etc/init/supervisord.conf

the contents are:

description     "supervisord"

start on runlevel [345]
stop on runlevel [!345]

expect fork
respawn

exec /misc/home/bkc/Python_Environments/java2/supervisord/bin/supervisord -c /misc/home/bkc/Python_Environments/java2/supervisord/work/supervisord.conf

It will automatically start supervisor on boot. To manually start after creating the .conf file, use

sudo start supervisord

To manually stop the service, use

sudo stop supervisord

Solution 3:

This is what I use on RHEL 5.4 and CentOS 5.5

I'm not sure wether it's depending on some configuration settings in my supervisord.conf. But it seems to work OK.

You need to run the following command after installing it

chkconfig --add supervisord

[/etc/rc.d/init.d/supervisord]

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/supervisord

prog="supervisord"

prefix="/usr/"
exec_prefix="${prefix}"
prog_bin="${exec_prefix}/bin/supervisord"
PIDFILE="/var/run/$prog.pid"

start()
{
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        daemon $prog_bin --pidfile $PIDFILE
        [ -f $PIDFILE ] && success $"$prog startup" || failure $"$prog startup"
        echo
}

stop()
{
        echo -n $"Shutting down $prog: "
        [ -f $PIDFILE ] && killproc $prog || success $"$prog shutdown"
        echo
}

case "$1" in

  start)
    start
  ;;

  stop)
    stop
  ;;

  status)
        status $prog
  ;;

  restart)
    stop
    start
  ;;

  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
  ;;

esac

Solution 4:

There is a Debian/Ubuntu script in official Supervisor GitHub repo:

https://github.com/Supervisor/initscripts/blob/master/debian-norrgard

Solution 5:

This is working for me on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS. It also appears to work in 8.04:

Add the following to /etc/init.d/supervisord

#! /bin/bash -e

SUPERVISORD=/usr/local/bin/supervisord
PIDFILE=/tmp/supervisord.pid
OPTS="-c /etc/supervisord.conf"

test -x $SUPERVISORD || exit 0

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

export PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

case "$1" in
  start)
    log_begin_msg "Starting Supervisor daemon manager..."
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $SUPERVISORD -- $OPTS || log_end_msg 1
    log_end_msg 0
    ;;
  stop)
    log_begin_msg "Stopping Supervisor daemon manager..."
    start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE || log_end_msg 1
    log_end_msg 0
    ;;

  restart|reload|force-reload)
    log_begin_msg "Restarting Supervisor daemon manager..."
    start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry 30 --pidfile $PIDFILE
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $SUPERVISORD -- $OPTS || log_end_msg 1
    log_end_msg 0
    ;;

  *)
    log_success_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/supervisor
{start|stop|reload|force-reload|restart}"
    exit 1
esac

exit 0

Then run:

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/supervisord
sudo update-rc.d supervisord defaults

sudo service supervisord start

None of the other answers worked for me.
