What else?

Config file

To run munner, you will need a YAML format of config file.

The config file name is munner.yml

It looks like this:

---------------------------
base_dir: "... base directory to find the app ..."
apps:
   web-frontend:
       dir: "... either full path or the tail part after base_dir ..."
       run: "... command ..."
   foobar-api:
       dir: "... path cound find the command to run ..."
       run: "... start up command ..."

Where to save the config file?

By default munner will find the config file at the current directory. If you have the config some where else, you will need to tell munner like below:

pwd --> /home/micvu/websrc/website
munner -c /home/micvu/munner.yml <options> ...

If the config is in the current directory.

pwd --> /home/micvu/websrc/website
ls munner.yml --> munner.yml
munner <options> --> without telling the config file location

Command examples:

start web-frontend only

munner -a web-frontend

start foobar-api only

munner -a foobar-api

start everything in the config

munner -A

show a simple help page

munner -h
