Answer 1

Hopefully this will be of use to someone, this is the process I have been through in addition to @Abdu's answer to get things working on CentOS 7.

1. Install Supervisor

easy_install supervisor

* If not installed, run yum install -y python-setuptools and then easy_install supervisor

2. Prep work

To get the ideal setup running, you should run the following...

# create directory for supervisor logs
mkdir /var/log/supervisor

# create directory for supervisor configs
mkdir -p /etc/supervisor/conf.d

# create config directory for supervisor
cat <> /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
; supervisor config file

[supervisord]
logfile=/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log ; (main log file;default $CWD/supervisord.log)
pidfile=/var/run/supervisord.pid ; (supervisord pidfile;default supervisord.pid)
childlogdir=/var/log/supervisor            ; ('AUTO' child log dir, default $TEMP)

[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock ; use a unix:// URL  for a unix socket

[include]
files = /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*.conf
EOT

# create systemctl service script
cat <> /lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service
[Unit]
Description=Supervisor process control system for UNIX
Documentation=http://supervisord.org
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
ExecStop=/usr/bin/supervisorctl $OPTIONS shutdown
ExecReload=/usr/bin/supervisorctl -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf $OPTIONS reload
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=50s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOT

Once you've done this, you should now be able to start and stop supervisor using systemctl. To start systemctl, run systemctl start supervisord. To view the status of supervisor, run systemctl status supervisord.

You can create as many custom configurations as you like under /etc/supervisor/conf.d

3. Enable on system startup

You should also enable supervisord on startup by running

systemctl enable supervisord
