@ifnot/fly-run v1.0.3

Fly Run

Simple multiple process spawner and manager for developers.

Quick start

1. Install the package globally with npm or yarn:

• npm install -g @ifnot/fly-run
• (or) yarn global add @ifnot/fly-run

2. Configure it with a js/json file (example /home/me/fly-run.conf.js) :

module.exports = [
  {
    name: 'prog1',
    command: '/usr/bin/yarn',
    args: ['serve'],
    options: {
      cwd: '/home/me/projects/prog1',
    }
  },
  // Add more programs here
]

3. Run with configuration file as second argument fly-run /home/me/fly-run.conf.js

Commands

Fly run will listen inputs for running some actions :

• CTRL + C: Kill all spawned processes and exit the program
• kill prog1: Kill the process prog1
• start prog1: Start the process prog1
• restart prog1: Restart the process prog1

Configuration (for each entries)

• name string: The name of the program (used for display and control commands)
• command string: The command to run
• (optionnal) args array[string]: The array of arguments used for the spawn command
• (optionnal) options array[mixed]: The array of options used for the spawn command

• (optionnal) every number: Interval in seconds for running again this program

  • Only for self-closing programs, handy for running crons (eg. each minute with every: 60).

Todo List :

• Major refactoring for splitting main features into modules
• Check for process before running it again with start command
