@Bebu,

Hi there! I appreciate your feedback on the article. I understand your expectation based on the headline, and I apologize for any confusion.

The article focused on using supervisord as a process control system rather than discussing checkpointing and process migration.

Supervisord is indeed a useful tool for process management, and I hope you find it helpful in your work.

I was a little misled by the headline. I was expecting something like a discussion of systems that periodically checkpoint a running process and that after a restart could roll back and continue from the checkpointed state. A bit like process migration from the pre-crash system to the post-crash system.

Still, I haven’t encountered supervisord so will check it out. Seems to be a cutdown systemd or something from the Solaris svc, smf stable.
