Taskmaster is a project that involves creating a process monitoring and control system similar to supervisord.

• Process Management: Start, stop, restart, shutdown
• Configuration File: Define processes and their behavior in a configuration file
• Status Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of process status
• Log Management: Comprehensive logging of process activities

The taskmaster project contains two binaries: taskmasterd and taskmaster

taskmasterd is the daemon which runs in background, and handles all the job control specified in the configuration file. taskmaster is the client which permits you to communicate with the daemon

# Clone the repository
$> git clone [email protected]:sethquantix/taskmaster.git
$> cd taskmaster

# Compile the project
$> make

Example of a minimalist configuration file:

[taskmaster]
[jobs.setup]
cmd = "cp nginx.conf /tmp/nginx/nginx.conf"
num_procs = 1
autostart = false
auto_restart = "never"

[jobs.nginx]
cmd = "/usr/sbin/nginx -c /tmp/nginx/nginx.conf -g 'daemon off;'"
num_procs = 1
umask = "022"
working_dir = "/tmp/nginx"
stdout = "/tmp/nginx/nginx-{PID}.stdout"
stderr = "/tmp/nginx/nginx-{PID}.stderr"
exit_codes = "0..5"

autostart = false
auto_restart = "crash" # always|terminate|crash|never
start_retries = 15
start_time = 5
stop_signal = "SIGTERM"
stop_time = 10
env = { STARTED_BY = "taskmaster", ANSWER = "42" }
