Now one can add arguments to the command controlled by supervisor. You have to give all arguments between [] like this: [arg1 arg2 arg3]. This way one can use ctl scripts generated by other recipes and give them the appropriate argument to make them run in foreground. An example:

[buildout]
parts =
instance1
supervisor

[instance1]

...

[supervisor]
recipe = collective.recipe.supervisor
port = 9001
user = mustapha
password = secret
serverurl = http://supervisor.mustap.com

programs =
10 instance1 ${buildout:bin-directory}/instance1 [fg] ${instance1:location}
10 instance1 ${instance1:location}/bin/runzope ${instance1:location}
20 myprog /mypath/bin/myprog [-n 100] /mypath

UPDATE: After a discussion with Chris Mc Donough, I updated this post. For zope instances and zeo instances, please use the runzope and runzeo scripts instead of instance and zeo
