carcass-program v0.4.0

Carcass Program

A simple wrap of commander.js, plus some tools and examples, in Carcass style.

Init scripts

• For forever to recognize the process, you need to prepare a JS script for each of your programs.
• For convenience, we prepared an include file for the shell scripts.
• See /example/forever for examples.

How to use

• Prepare a program file for each of the processes. Example: /example/forever/programs/http.js.
• Install or clone this module and copy or link /init.d/carcass-forever to your include folder.
• Create a script for each of the program files. Example: /example/forever/init.d/example-http.
• In the script, you need to 1) assign variables, 2) include carcass-forever and 3) invoke run.
• It requires 3 variables to work: SOURCE_DIR, SCRIPT, and NAME. The others are optional. See the example script for details.
• You can also write a config file for the script and put the variables in it, but it's not required. Example: /example/forever/dev/http.conf.
• Run the script: [path_to_the_script] [start|stop|restart] [optionally_a_config_file].
