What you’re doing sounds pretty cool. I’ll follow along to see how it turns out. Since you mention ZMQ and an attached Julis instance. Maybe it’s be worth looking at how Jupyter communicates with IJulia. I understand they use ZMQ for communication. Here’s a thread discussing running a remote REPL via IJulia which is almost what you want:

I just tried it and I can start a new byobu session to start a Genie app with: byobu new-session -s "session\_name" "bin/server" This can be passed to supervisord Update 1 Unfortunately, not so easy… By default supervisord would supervise tmux frowning I think it can be set up so that the Julia app creates a pidfile and superv…

Best of luck!
