How to properly manage rabbitmq with supervisord
The current section in my supervisord.conf looks like:
[program:rabbitmq] command=/usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server
When I try to stop the rabbitmq with supervisord ( supervisorctl stop rabbitmq), the rabbitmq processes simply do not shut down. The rabbitmq documentation also mentions to never use kill but rather use rabbitmqctl stop . I'm guessing supervisord simply kills the processes - hence the poor results with rabbitmq. I couldn't find any options in supervisord to specify a custom stop command.
Do you have any recommendations?
Answer
My solution is to write a wrapper script named rabbitmq.sh as follows:
# call "rabbitmqctl stop" when exiting
trap "{ echo Stopping rabbitmq; rabbitmqctl stop; exit 0; }" EXIT
echo Starting rabbitmq
rabbitmq-server
After that, modify supervisord.conf:
[program:rabbitmq]
command=path/to/rabbitmq.sh
