$ sudo easy_install supervisor

generate SHA-1 hash of password to be used for TCP access

$ echo -n password | sha1sum | awk '{print $1}'

enable TCP access

sudo vim /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf

[inet_http_server]
port = 127.0.0.1:9001
username = user
password = {SHA}1235678

configure supervisorctl command line access (note password cannot be SHA hash, has to be plaintext)

[supervisorctl]
serverurl=unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock
serverurl=http://localhost:9001
username = user
password = abcdef

add a program

sudo vim /etc/supervisor/conf.d/app_example.conf

directory=/path/to/app
autostart:false

    supervisorctl -s http://localhost:9001 -u user -p password start group:app
