spawndir

# SpawnDir Spawns commands from the file system. This exists to provide a simple mechanism for spawning and managing processes: simply add an executable, or a symbolic link to one, to a monitored directory. The config allows arguments to be specified by file or directory. While not as flexible as upstart, monit, et al., SpawnDir's use of the filesystem provides a simpler UNIX-ish interface. ## Usage To use the escript executable: ./spawndir DIR [ARGS ...] where `DIR` is the directory to be monitored, and each command will be started with the supplied `ARGS` To run using mix: mix run --no-halt You can configure what is watched via the `:spawndir` application environment variables: :default_opts :: [opt] :watch :: [cmd | {cmd, [opt]}] where opt :: string() cmd :: string() ## Future Additions - Check for executable flag - Package installation - Monitor filesystem for commands being added/removed Copyright (c) Thomas Moulia, 2014
