I seem to be having trouble figuring out why supervisord won't run as a non-root user. If I start it with the user set to jason (pid 1000), I get the following in the log file:

2010-05-24 08:53:32,143 CRIT Set uid to user 1000
2010-05-24 08:53:32,143 WARN Included extra file "/home/jason/src/tsched/celeryd.conf" during parsing
2010-05-24 08:53:32,189 INFO RPC interface 'supervisor' initialized
2010-05-24 08:53:32,189 WARN cElementTree not installed, using slower XML parser for XML-RPC
2010-05-24 08:53:32,189 CRIT Server 'unix_http_server' running without any HTTP authentication checking
2010-05-24 08:53:32,190 INFO daemonizing the supervisord process
2010-05-24 08:53:32,191 INFO supervisord started with pid 3444

...then the process dies for some unknown reason. If I start it without sudo (under the user jason), I get similar output:

2010-05-24 08:51:32,859 INFO supervisord started with pid 3306
2010-05-24 08:52:15,761 CRIT Can't drop privilege as nonroot user

2010-05-24 08:52:15,809 INFO supervisord started with pid 3397

...and it still doesn't run. If it's any help, here's the supervisord.conf file I'm using:

[unix_http_server]
file=/tmp/supervisor.sock   ; path to your socket file

[supervisord]

[supervisorctl]

...and here's celeryd.conf:

[program:celery]
command=bin/celeryd --loglevel=INFO --logfile=./celeryd.log

environment=PYTHONPATH='./tsched_worker',
            JIVA_DB_PLATFORM='oracle',

            TNS_ADMIN='/home/jason',
            CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE='tsched_worker.celeryconfig'

directory=.

numprocs=1
stdout_logfile=/var/log/celeryd.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/celeryd.log
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=10

; Need to wait for currently executing tasks to finish at shutdown.
; Increase this if you have very long running tasks.
stopwaitsecs = 600

; if rabbitmq is supervised, set its priority higher
; so it starts first
priority=998

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?
