Supervisor VS Supervisord

I noticed that my servers have both supervisord.conf and supervisor.conf located at: /etc/supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/supervisor.conf

The installed package is: supervisor 3.2.0-2

OS version: Ubuntu 14.04/16.04

Running lsof|grep supervisor shows that none of the processes had neither of them open

Does anyone know the difference? Which of the conf files is the one to take place?

When running supervisord or supervisorctl, the program will first check the current working directory ($CWD, or the directory from where you invoke the command) for a supervisord.conf file. When absent, it will look for /etc/supervisord.conf. The docs will tell you more about it: http://supervisord.org/configuration.html

You also can specify the exact location of the config file by using the -c flag: supervisord -c path/to/your/file.conf.

So, in answer to your question: /etc/supervisord.conf is the one. However, if you'd like to use the other config file, you would run supervisord -c /etc/supervisor/supervisor.conf.
