New error in supervisord on Ubuntu

Question

This error seems to have shown up in the latest set of upgrades on ubuntu

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/bin/supervisord", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('supervisor==3.0a10', 'console_scripts', 'supervisord')()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/supervisor-3.0a10-py2.6.egg/supervisor/supervisord.py", line 364, in main
options = ServerOptions()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/supervisor-3.0a10-py2.6.egg/supervisor/options.py", line 406, in __init__
existing_directory, default=tempfile.gettempdir())
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/tempfile.py", line 254, in gettempdir
tempdir = _get_default_tempdir()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/tempfile.py", line 201, in _get_default_tempdir
("No usable temporary directory found in %s" % dirlist))
 IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/usr/lib/python2.6']

I think it's a python thing.

I'm running a supervisord process to keep a node.js webserver running, but am no longer able to run supervisord.

Does anyone know how to fix this or know of a very reliable alternative to keeping my node.js webserver running (apart from the seemingly obvious "don't write stuff that crashes")?

Answer 1

_get_default_tempdir just checks access to the temp dirs by writing and deleting a random file into temp dir. So you might want to check permissions on your temp dirs: '/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/usr/lib/python2.6'

Answer 2

As it turns out, the disk was full.
