XMLRPC sounds evil ;) My checklist for required features looks like below, how far is supervisord from meeting that? - killing idle processes after some timeout (with a configurable signal, preferably) - static pool size management (keep 5 of those running at all times) - dynamic pool size management (keep 1-5 running depending on load; this will require congestion notifications from the web server, like you said) - process status notifications ("foo failed to run, what now?", with some mildly intelligent retry logic) -- I need to alert an external entity somehow. - easily generated configuration file

If supervisord can do that, I'd be willing to write an Nginx module to interface with that, sometime in this millenium.
