[Supervisor-users] Supervisor - GSoC

[Siddhant Goel]

Hello everyone!

A Supervisor project was accepted for this year's Google Summer of Code,
under the Python Software Foundation umbrella. So being the student, I spent
my summer working on Supervisor, adding features as per my application -
http://tinyurl.com/58tsuz , while being mentored by Chris McDonough.

Following is the outcome -

1. The supervisorctl shell now supports tab completion of commands.

2. Supervisor now has a 'Foreground' mode, which helps you to 'connect' to
your processes, i.e., while inside the Foreground mode, you can supply
inputs to your processes. and watch how they behave. Output/error messages
from the processes are streamed continuously, so whatever you supply the
process with, should reflect in the prompt, pretty much instantly. Type 'fg
<process_name>' while in the supervisorctl shell to enter the foreground
mode. After that, whatever you enter, will be sent as input to the process.
Output/error messages from the process will be simultaneously displayed.
Press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D to exit foreground.

I took a screenshot while operating the Python interactive interpreter
(running as a Supervisor subprocess) inside foreground mode.

Feedbacks are most welcome!
