How can I prevent supervisor from constantly trying to restart an already running process?

Posted on July 30, 2018

Is there something special I have to add to the config file to stop supervisor from constantly trying to restart this process that’s already running?

example: tail stdout.log

“Service admin is already running Service admin is already running Service admin is already running Service admin is already running”

This appears over and over.

Hello,

Usually, the following should work as normal:

[program:some_name_here]
command=/path/to/app.py --port=8080
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile = /var/log/supervisord/some_name_here-stderr.log
stdout_logfile = /var/log/supervisord/some_name_here-stdout.log
redirect_stderr=true

I’ve noticed that if you add an & at the end of your command it would cause the error that you are referring to. That’s because the & is sending the command to the background which supervisord recognizes as the service stopping.
