I have a situation where I pipe the output of ffmpeg into a PHP script for some processing. I might have a few of these processes running at any given time and I figured to start and stop them I might use Supervisor.
However, I'm running into the problem where I can start a new process but where I can't successfully stop it. I'm trying to execute the following command:
ffmpeg -i http://mystream.com -v 0 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le - | php process.php
To make the "piping" work I use the following for the command in Supervisor:
[program:process]
command = /bin/bash -c 'exec /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i http://mystream.com -v 0 -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le - | php /home/me/process.php'
This seems to be working and starts the whole process just fine, however, when I stop the process using supervisorctl:
stop process
I see with an ps aux that the ffmpeg process is still running. The php process.php seems to have been killed though.
What is the correct way to start and stop a piped command with Supervisor?
% sh -c 'your one-liner' I think this works
