What is a "Supervisor"?

"Supervisor" is a process manager which provides a singular interface for managing and monitoring several long-running programs.

Run a PHP command using Supervisor

To run a PHP command using Linux Supervisor, you must follow the steps below:

1. Install "Supervisor"

    sudo apt-get install supervisor
   

2. Create a "Supervisor" program configuration file:

    sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/your_program.conf
   

3. Add the following content to the configuration file:

    [program:your_program_name]
    command=your_command_here
    autostart=true
    autorestart=true
    stderr_logfile=/var/log/idle.err.log # Remove this line if "error log" isn't nedded
    stdout_logfile=/var/log/idle.out.log # Remove this line if "output log" isn't nedded
   

4. Save and close the file

5. Update the "Supervisor" configuration:

    sudo supervisorctl reread
   

6. Next, run the command below, to update the "Supervisor" process group with any new or changed programs:

    sudo supervisorctl update
   

7. Start the program:

    sudo supervisorctl start your_program_name
   

8. To check the status of the program:

    sudo supervisorctl status your_program_name
   

9. To stop the program:

    sudo supervisorctl stop your_program_name
   

As a result, your PHP script should be run as a process managed by "Supervisor," which will restart it if it crashes or stops for any other reason.
