Local Startup

This is a method to control start-up of applications in a Linux Desktop session that are run by a local default configuration, but can also be overriden by the user. This is unlike the /etc/xdg/autostart which is mostly under the control of the distro packager.

So I was interested in some software that would let me manage multiple supervisord instances in a single page. Turns out that there ...
