Here is a sample supervisor configuration file for running your agents in the background and making sure they restart in the event of a failure.

I've also added some venv environments so you can have different virtual environments for different work queues.

Add this to your `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/` folder.

I've named mine `prefect.conf`:
```[program:prefect]
command=/home/usr/venv/bin/python /home/usr/venv/bin/prefect agent start --work-queue "queue-name"
autorestart=true
autostart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/prefect.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/prefect.out.log
environment=PATH="/home/usr/venv/bin",PREFECT_API_URL="",PREFECT_API_KEY=""```

I've also set up a daemon service such that supervisor will start up and restart the agents in the event of a server outage or restart.  Lmk if anyone is interested in this and I can share.

Thanks <@U018TAB16PR>! Those might be great to put in the <https://discourse.prefect.io/|discourse dataops section>.
