supervisord stopping child processes

by

The same problem was encountered by Rick Hanlon II here: https://coderwall.com/p/4tcw7w

Option stopasgroup=true should be set in the program section for supervisord to stop not only the parent process but also the child processes.

The example is given as:

[program:some_django]
 command=python manage.py runserver
 directory=/dir/to/app
 stopasgroup=true

Also, have in mind that you may have an older package of supervisord that does not have “stopasgroup” functionality.
I tried these Debian packages on Raspberry Pi:

  • supervisor_3.0a8 does not work.
  • supervisor_3.0b2-1 works as expected.
