Also don't forget twisted.runner.procmon and  twistd procmon - it
hasn't got all the features of supervisord, but it may be enough. eg
twistd --logfile=procmon.log --pidfile=procmon.pid procmon \
    twistd --logfile=web.log --pidfile=web.pid -n web --path .

procmon runs processes, monitors their progress, and restarts them when they
die.

procmon will not attempt to restart a process that appears to die instantly;
with each "instant" death (less than 1 second, by default), it will delay
approximately twice as long before restarting it. A successful run will reset
the counter.
