when i reload supervisord the process under it control will stop or not?

Question

I try to figure out when i use reload command to supervisord,dose it will stop the processing currently executing under it? so i use bellow steps:

mlzboy@mlzboy-mac:~/my/ide/test$ pstree -p|grep super
        |-supervisord(6763)
mlzboy@mlzboy-mac:~/my/ide/test$ supervisorctl 
daemon                           STARTING   
supervisor> reload
Really restart the remote supervisord process y/N? y
Restarted supervisord
supervisor> exit
mlzboy@mlzboy-mac:~/my/ide/test$ pstree -p|grep super
        |-supervisord(6763)

i found the process id is not changed ,so does it prove reload will not stop the processing under supervisor control?

Answer 1

It doesn't kill the supervisord process, it just stops all processes, reload the configuration file, and restart processes again.

If you just want to apply the new configurations use reread command. It'd just reload the configuration without stopping, and respawning processes.

And running update will restart the processes (groups) that have changed.
