supervisord is a system that allows its users to control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems.
supervisord is managed via a configuration file at /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf (or applicable sub directories).
supervisor has a CLI interface which administrators can use to control programs managed by supervisord.
