Stoic

A more reliable way to run programs.

Features

• Stoic restarts your process when it dies.
• Stoic doesn't tightloop if your process immediately dies again.
• Stoic captures stdout and stderr from your process and logs them with timestamps.
• Stoic can run in the background as a daemon.
• A new stoic program will wait for the old process to finish and release any sockets before starting.
• Notifies by email [4], IRC [5] or HTTP [6] when the process restarts.

Usage

# Run a command
stoic -- myprogram myarguments

# Run a process in the background.
stoic --start --log-file=stoic.log --socket=stoic.socket -- myprogram

# Replace a running background process
stoic --replace --log-file=stoic.log --socket=stoic.socket -- myprogram

# Stops a running background process and waits for it to finish
stoic --stop --socket=stoic.socket

Installation

pip install stoic
