  2. Run sudo apt-get install supervisor to install supervisor-ctl

  3. Then Run This command to make a new config sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/yourproject.conf

  4. Then type the following

  5. Run sudo supervisorctl restart all to restart the service with new configuration

  6. That's it now you can see your bot online 24/7 and even if you restart your server your bot will restart and come online

Some important notes

  1. the place where I have mentioned your project or project please change it to your desired name
