Bitzer

Build Status

Bitzer is an application that can be used to run and manage a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems. It's much like supervisord and supervise.

What Bitzer do is quite simple currently. When Bitzer starts, it starts a number of processes based on your config, and then going to sleep. At sometime when one of the processes exits due to some reason, it will restart the process automatically.

Installation

You need cmake 2.6 or higher to build Bitzer from source. Further more, you also need flex (2.5.4 or higher), and bison (2.5 or higher).

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp
make && make install

In that prefix directory, there is a bitzer.conf under conf directory, the format is described as below.

Configuration

In bitzer.conf, you describe the processes that need to run. Here is an example:

task {
    name siesta;
    path /bin/sleep;
    args 10;
    dir  /tmp;
}

name and path must be provided. args is the arguments passed to the process. If dir is specified, it will be the process's working directory.

Running

Just run bitzer if its path is in PATH, or type in the absolute path of bitzer.

The name

Bitzer is a sheepdog in Shaun the Sheep.
