npm install aeternumaeternum is a simple process monitor, implemented with libuv. It is
designed for simplicity and stability. It is still a work in progress.
aeternum will currently work best on either SunOS or BSD-derivative operating
systems. To compile, simply run make from the project root.
Once compiled, usage is simple:
./aeternum start -o outputfile -- ./otherprogram
The -- option is used to separate aeternum arguments from any arguments
passed to the child process.
- start: Tells aeternum to background the process. Must be the first argument.
- -o: File to redirect stdout to. If no separate file is provided for
stderr, the same file will be used for both.
- -e: File to redirect stderr to. (optional)
- -p: pidfile - the name of the pidfile to use. If no relative or absolute
path is provided, $HOME/.aeternum/ will be the base path used.
- -i: inputfile - If used, the file here will be available as the stdin of
the child process.
