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 output the stream from this example config looks something like this:
