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 ..."
       carton: 1 or 0
       non-stop: sleep N or pause
   db-api:
       dir: "... path cound find the command to run ..."
       env:
           - foo: 1
           - bar: 2
       run: "... start up command ..."
   event-api:
       dir: "websrc/event-api"
       run: bin/app.pl
       carton: 1
   login-server:
       dir: websrc/login-server
       run: bin/app.pl
       carton: 1
groups:
   database:
       ## only start these apps
       apps:
           - login-server
           - db-api
   events:
       apps:
           - login-server
           - event-api
   website:
       ## start apps and above groups
       apps:
           - web-frontend
       groups:
           - database
           - events

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 event-api only

munner -a event-api

start everything website (db, event and login)

munner -g website

start all apps in the config

munner -A

start all groups in the config?
