How to recreate a missing socket to start the supervisor process

Question

This happens to me quite often in different blocks, which for some reason disappear in the supervisord socket file. They did not investigate if this was due to an error or for another reason, but I am wondering if it is possible to recreate / reconnect to this socket processed by supervisord. The process is still working and I see it

> lsof -c supervisord
COMMAND     PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE  SIZE/OFF       NODE NAME
[...]
superviso 16886 root    3w   REG                9,1     85344    2753325 /var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log
superviso 16886 root    4u  unix 0xffff880059691800       0t0 3662006852 /var/tmp/supervisor.sock.16883
superviso 16886 root    5u  unix 0xffff88017c6f7c00       0t0 3661998412 socket
[...]

But the file /var/tmp/supervisor.sock.16883 does not exist. Is there a way to recreate the socket file handled by this supervisor process? I know that I can restart the dispatcher, but I would like to avoid it.
