Supervisor 2.0b1 Released

  • Posted by Chris McDonough on July 12th, 2006

    The “old” supervisor “1″ was a multiprocess controller a lot like DJB’s daemontools but written in Python, and a lot less secure and paranoid. So is this one, except:

    • It now uses XML-RPC for command-line-client-to-server communications. This also means the server can be controlled by processes other than its vanillia client via XML-RPC (think “up-down check tools”).
    • It has a web interface that can do approximately the same thing as the command-line client.
    • It uses ConfigParser rather than ZConfig for its configuration files.

    The current release is a beta release (2.0b1). It can be obtained from http://www.plope.com/software/supervisor2/ .

    Many thanks to Ian Bicking and Mike Naberezny for bugreports and support for supervisor 1. Thanks to Titus Brown for writing a supervisor 1 HOWTO, which prodded me to create better documentation for supervisor 2.
