Change history

0.2 (2008-04-23)

• Make possible to pass arguments to the command so one can use ctl scripts with supervisor with arguments like ‘fg’ for zope instances or –no-detach or something similar for other programs [mustapha]

• updated tests [mustapha]

0.1 (2008-04-21)

• Created recipe with ZopeSkel [Mustapha Benali].

Detailed Documentation

This recipe when used will do the following:

• install supervisor and all its dependecies.

• generates the supervisord and supervisorctl scripts in the bin directory

• generates a configuration file to be used by supervisord and supervisorctl scripts

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

port

The port nummber supervisord listen to. ie: 9001. Can be given as host:port like 127.0.0.1:9001. Defaults to 127.0.0.1:9001

user

The username required for authentication to supervisord

password

The password required for authentication to supervisord

supervisord-conf

Full path to where the recipe puts the supervisord configuration file. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/bin/supervisord.conf

logfile

The full path to the supervisord log file. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/log/supervisord.log

pidfile

The pid file of supervisord. Defaults to ${buildout:directory}/var/supervisord.pid

logfile-maxbytes

The maximum number of bytes that may be consumed by the activity log file before it is rotated. Defaults to 50MB

logfile-backups

The number of backups to keep around resulting from activity log file rotation. Defaults to 10

loglevel

The logging level. Can be one of critical, error, warn, info, debug, trace, or blather. Defaults to info

nodaemon

If true, supervisord will start in the foreground instead of daemonizing. Defaults to false

serverurl

The URL that should be used to access the supervisord server. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:9001

programs

A list of programs you want the supervisord to control. One per line. The format of a line is as follow:

priority process_name command [[args] [directory] [[redirect_stderr]]]

The [args] is any number of arguments you want to pass to the command It has to be given between [] (ie.: [-v fg]). See examples below. If not given the redirect_stderr defaults to false. If not given the directory option defaults to the directory containing the the command.

In most cases you will only need to give the 4 first parts:

priority process_name command [[args]]

Example usage

We’ll start by creating a buildout that uses the recipe:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = supervisor
...
... [zeo]
... location = /a/b/c
... [instance1]
... location = /e/f
... [instance2]
... location = /g/h
...
... [supervisor]
... recipe = collective.recipe.supervisor
... port = 9001
... user = mustapha
... password = secret
... serverurl = http://supervisor.mustap.com
... programs =
...       10 zeo ${zeo:location}/bin/runzeo ${zeo:location}
...       20 instance1 ${instance1:location}/bin/runzope ${instance1:location} true
...       30 instance2 ${instance2:location}/bin/runzope true
...       40 maildrophost ${buildout:bin-directory}/maildropctl true
...       50 other ${buildout:bin-directory}/other [-n 100] /tmp
...       60 other2 ${buildout:bin-directory}/other2 [-n 100] true
...       70 other3 ${buildout:bin-directory}/other3 [-n -h -v --no-detach] /tmp3 true
... """)

Chris Mc Donough said:

Note however that the "instance" script Plone uses to start Zope when
passed "fg" appears to use os.system, so the process that supervisor is
controlling isnt actually Plone, it's the controller script. This means
that "stop" and "start" tend to not do what you want. It's far better to
use "runzope", which actually execs the Python process which becomes Zope

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> print system(buildout)
Installing supervisor.
Getting distribution for 'supervisor'.
...
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/supervisorctl'.
Generated script '/sample-buildout/bin/supervisord'.
<BLANKLINE>

You can now just run the supervisord like this:

$ bin/supervisord

and control it with supervisorctl:

$ bin/supervisorctl

now, get a look to the generated supervisord.conf file:

>>> cat('bin', 'supervisord.conf')
<BLANKLINE>
[inet_http_server]
port = 9001
username = mustapha
password = secret
<BLANKLINE>
[supervisord]
logfile = /sample-buildout/var/log/supervisord.log
logfile_maxbytes = 50MB
logfile_backups = 10
loglevel = info
pidfile = /sample-buildout/var/supervisord.pid
nodaemon = false
<BLANKLINE>
[supervisorctl]
serverurl = http://supervisor.mustap.com
<BLANKLINE>
[rpcinterface:supervisor]
supervisor.rpcinterface_factory = supervisor.rpcinterface:make_main_rpcinterface
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:zeo]
command = /a/b/c/bin/runzeo
process_name = zeo
directory = /a/b/c
priority = 10
redirect_stderr = false
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:instance1]
command = /e/f/bin/runzope
process_name = instance1
directory = /e/f
priority = 20
redirect_stderr = true
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:instance2]
command = /g/h/bin/runzope
process_name = instance2
directory = /g/h/bin
priority = 30
redirect_stderr = true
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:maildrophost]
command = /sample-buildout/bin/maildropctl
process_name = maildrophost
directory = /sample-buildout/bin
priority = 40
redirect_stderr = true
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:other]
command = /sample-buildout/bin/other -n 100
process_name = other
directory = /tmp
priority = 50
redirect_stderr = false
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:other2]
command = /sample-buildout/bin/other2 -n 100
process_name = other2
directory = /sample-buildout/bin
priority = 60
redirect_stderr = true
<BLANKLINE>
<BLANKLINE>
[program:other3]
command = /sample-buildout/bin/other3 -n -h -v --no-detach
process_name = other3
directory = /tmp3
priority = 70
redirect_stderr = true
<BLANKLINE>

and if we look to generated supervisord script we will see that the configuration file is given as argument with the ‘-c’ option:

>>> cat('bin', 'supervisord')
...
<BLANKLINE>
...
<BLANKLINE>
import sys; sys.argv.extend(["-c","/sample-buildout/bin/supervisord.conf"])
<BLANKLINE>
import supervisor.supervisord
<BLANKLINE>
if __name__ == '__main__':
    supervisor.supervisord.main()
