Yes. I do it all the time. Just make sure you trap the exit from the port. The port is not linked to its controlling process so you need to trap the exit and restart the port itself or just make your supervised controlling process exit when it receives the port 'EXIT' signal.

Subject: [erlang-questions] Supervisor and port applications

I have some "agents" that are written in Ruby and I'd like to take  
advantage of an Erlang Supervisor to manage them.  Is it feasible/ 
recommended to use a Supervisor to manage a Port based application?

Thanks,
Dave
