THANKS!!! I totally forgot that programs can be listed in separate files.
i migrated to that model in a few minutes in nginx, we do something similar: /sites-available all config files /sites-enabled symlinks to config files that are active ( in the form of `ln -s ../sites-available/NAME .` so i set supervisord up with the same system. everything is managed in a source repo, so the solution was: 1. split files out in source repo. /config/environments/production/supervisor/supervisord.config /config/environments/production/supervisor/supervisord-sites-available 2. update the deployment tool (which is Fabric) to mount the 'available' directory onto /etc, create an enabled directory, and build out symliks it's working super smoothly now. i'll probably update the fabric tool to be a single interface to both issuing a `supervisorctl` command and updating a symlink for persistance. but we're also able to cheat a bit in nginx too -- there's an old (common?) trick to use the existence of a file as a control semaphore. if the file exists ( /path/to/maintenance.on ), everything gets redirected to a maintenance page. if the file doesn't exist, things serve as normal. its useful for situations where you can't (or don't want to) reload the daemon. _______________________________________________ Supervisor-users mailing list Supervisor-users@lists.supervisord.org https://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users
