It provides both a command-line interface (supervisorctl) and a web-based dashboard for starting, stopping, restarting, and monitoring processes. The system logs process output, tracks process state changes, and can automatically restart failed processes based on configured exit codes.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel, making it lightweight to deploy. It supports both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 and later, though recent versions (3.8+) no longer require setuptools at runtime. The codebase is stable and production-ready, with a long history of bug fixes and platform compatibility improvements, though development has slowed in recent years.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are running UNIX-based production systems and need reliable process supervision without external dependencies. Supervisor is a proven, stable tool with no runtime dependencies and a permissive license. The aging maintenance status (356 days since last release) is not a blocker for stable deployments, but do not expect rapid feature additions or quick responses to new platform issues. Not suitable for Windows environments."},"id":"supervisor","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/supervisor","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/supervisor.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/supervisor/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-08-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"supervisor","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A system for controlling process state under UNIX"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":13194638,"position":1293,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.3.0"}
