Review of: plope - supervisor2

5/5 (minimum 1)

by drewp on 17 Feb 2007

rc files are horrible compared to using supervisor. supervisor runs the processes as children, so it knows for sure if they've stopped or not. Setting up a new process is as short as adding two lines to the config file. I'm using supervisor on 5 machines so far.

The web UI sometimes stalls on page loads, and the master process can't be reconfigured without restarting everything, but those issues haven't bothered me much.

People considering supervisor2 might also be looking at DJB's daemontools. I think sup2 is an easier setup, and it comes with more reporting/control interfaces out of the box.
