Allow your regular unix user to manage supervisor processes.
$ sudo apt-get install python supervisord
$ groupadd supervisor
$ usermod -a -G supervisor {a_unix_username}
$ vim /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
# Change:
# chmod=0770
# chown=root:supervisor
$ service supervisor stop
$ service supervisor start
# don't try restart, that will not re-create the socket if it was already created.
