Configuration

Create a file config-supervisor.conf in the same folder of the supervisor script.

Example configuration:

sv_name=gnome_mines                         # A name of the service, which can be chosen arbitrarily
sv_program=gnome-mines                      # The program that is being executed
sv_final_program_pattern=gnome-mines        # Optional pattern to find the program in the process list. In simple cases identical to sv_program.
sv_restart_delay=10                         # Pause between program restarts in seconds
