I am using supervisor to launch and manage a nginx process. So far this works perfectly. The problem I am having is shutting down the instance.

I have tried using “supervisorctl -c shutdown [all]” and this shuts down the daemon and in the supervisorctl interactive console it says nginx is stopped. However, if I do a ps -A | grep nginx command it still appears in the list.

My config for the nginx instance is as follows:

[program:nginx]
command=./bin/nginx
    -p /home/me/sites/project.domain.com/
    -c project/etc/nginx.conf
directory=/home/me/sites/project.domain.com
autostart=true
autorestart=true
redirect_stderr=true
exitcodes=0
stopsignal=TERM

Any suggestion why nginx could not be shutting down?

    Have you made sure you are not starting up nginx in daemonized mode? It is important you start all your child-processes of supervisor in non-daemonized mode. I currently don’t have nginx boot options at hand, but this might give you a start in the right direction.
