## Notes

Supervisor is a client/server system that monitors and controls processes on UNIX-like operating systems. Its server, supervisord, runs in the background unless its configuration sets it to stay in the foreground. The software is installed with pip, and the [installation guide](https://supervisord.org/installing.html) also describes a distribution package route.

## Worth knowing

Supervisor runs on UNIX-like systems and does not run under Windows, according to its [introduction](https://supervisord.org/introduction.html).
