Supervisor - program

A config for running a Galaxy server under uWSGI has been installed at /etc/supervisor/conf.d/galaxy.conf:

[program:galaxy]
command         = uwsgi --plugin python --virtualenv /srv/galaxy/server/.venv --ini-paste /srv/galaxy/server/galaxy.yml
directory       = /srv/galaxy/server
autostart       = true
autorestart     = true
startsecs       = 10
user            = galaxy
stopsignal      = INT

Supervisor + systemd

If you prefer, you can use Supervisor to manage the Galaxy processes. The OS needs to ensure the Supervisor daemon is running, and probably manages it with systemd, as is common on most systems currently.

$ systemctl status supervisor
● supervisor.service - Supervisor process control system for UNIX
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/supervisor.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Mon 2016-10-10 14:19:34 EDT; 3 weeks 3 days ago
 Main PID: 481 (supervisord)
   CGroup: /system.slice/supervisor.service
