You can indeed do a start, restart, or stop on Apache in that configuration when its in the FATAL state. Doing so just won't do much, however, because the program can't start up in the first place.
Try to debug the actual problem by starting supervisord with debugging logging in foreground mode: supervisord -n -edebug Then wait for it to fail. While it's in foreground mode, it should print the stdout and stderr streams of all processes started by supervisord. Often once you see the thing failing, it becomes obvious what needs to change to make things better. - C On Thu, 2010-05-06 at 17:05 -0500, Brad Flora wrote: > Hi there, > > A friend just set up Supervisord the other day on my slice and we're > using it to restart apache when it freezes.
