按照Kafka的回答，我也试着这样做。问题是，我的kafka（版本0.8.1.1）似乎打包了不同的运行脚本。因此，我尝试调整并生成了以下supervisord配置：

[program:kafka]
command=pidproxy /var/run/kafka.pid /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh /opt/kafka/config/server.properties 
user=kafka
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=10
startretries=999
log_stdout=true
log_stderr=true
logfile=/var/log/kafka/supervisord-kafka.out
logfile_maxbytes=20MB
logfile_backups=10

我使用以下rpm的管理器：

[root@dev-xxx yyy]# rpm -qi supervisor
Name        : supervisor                   Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 3.0                               Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/home:presbrey
Release     : 13.1                          Build Date: Thu 13 Jun 2013 08:35:40 AM IDT

停止supervisord守护进程不会杀死kafka，请参见以下内容：

[root@dev-xxx yyy]# jps

31408 Jps
2964 Kafka
31293 supervisor
31246 nimbus

[root@dev-xxx yyy]# supervisorctl status
