; This is where you run individual Tornado instances.
; We run four; one per processor core.
; In development, we ran as many as four per core with no issues.
; If you're looking to minimize cpu load, run fewer processes.
; BTW, Tornado processes are single threaded.
; To take advantage of multiple cores, you'll need multiple processes.

@hunt3r: I solve the problem i believe you are having, by doing the following (am currently using the Amazon Linux AMI on EC2 which is loosely based on CentOS):

all as root user:

1. create a virtualenv for supervisor
2. activate virtualenv and install supervisor via pip
3. write the main supervisord.conf file to /etc/supervisord.conf
4. optionally create dir /etc/supervisord.d and put supervisor configs in there (all of my configs have user var specified as non-root user)
5. save the following to /etc/init.d/supervisord:

!/bin/sh

6. chmod +x /etc/init.d/supervisord
7. chkconfig —add supervisord
8. chkconfig supervisord on
9. service supervisord start

Hope this helps!
