Nginx with Supervisor keep changing status b/w Running and Starting

Question

Here's a preview of the status running `supervisorctl status` every 2 seconds: ``` [root@docker] ~ # supervisorctl status nginx RUNNING pid 2090, uptime 0:00:02 [root@docker] ~ # supervisorctl status nginx STARTING [root@docker] redis-2.8.9 # supervisorctl status nginx RUNNING pid 2110, uptime 0:00:01 ``` Is this a normal thing for nginx to respawn every few seconds ? Knowing that nginx is setup to be run in the background with this setup: ``` [program:nginx] command=/usr/sbin/nginx stdout_events_enabled=true stderr_events_enabled=true ```

Accepted Answer

Its been a long time, but it might help someone else... set `daemon off` in your nginx config. Supervisord requires processes not to run as daemons.

You can also set it directly for the supervisor command:

```
command=/usr/sbin/nginx -g "daemon off;"
```
