supervisorctl: Keep displaying `stdout` of a process.
$ supervisorctl tail -f ${process_name} stdout
try on your machine

This command is used to view live logs of a process supervised by Supervisor.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • supervisorctl is a command-line utility that interacts with the Supervisor process control system.
  • tail -f is a Unix command that allows you to monitor a file in real-time. The -f flag stands for "follow" and it keeps the command running, displaying appended data as the file grows.
  • ${process_name} is a placeholder for the actual name of the process you want to view the logs for. You need to replace ${process_name} with the name of the process you want to monitor.

The command specifically targets the stdout (standard output) of the specified process and continuously displays new log entries as they are written to stdout. It's a useful way to monitor the ongoing activity and debug any issues with the process.
