pmux

A dumb simple user-space process manager, for use in composing multiple processes together into a single runable frontend.

Features include (and are limited to):

  • Coalesces all stdout and stderr streams of all sub-processes into a single stdout stream (with timestamps and process names prefixing each line).

  • Propagates interrupt signal to sub-processes, and waits a configurable amount of time before SIGKILLing those which don't exit themselves.

  • Will restart processes which unexpectedly exit, with an exponential backoff delay for those which repeatedly exit.

  • Configurable timestamp format.

That's it. If it's not listed then pmux can't do it.

Usage

To build you just go build . within the directory.

To run you do pmux -c pmux.yml. If -c isn't provided then pmux will look for pmux.yml in the pwd. A config file is required.

Example

This repo contains an example config file, which shows off all possible configuration options.

The stdoutput from this example config looks something like this:
