pgctl is an MIT Licensed tool to manage developer "playgrounds".
Often projects have various processes that should run in the backround (services) during development. These services amount to a miniature staging environment that we term playground. Each service must have a well-defined state at all times (it should be starting, up or down), and should be independantly restartable and debuggable.
pgctl aims to solve this problem in a unified, language-agnostic framework (although the tool happens to be written in Python).
As a simple example, let's say that we want a date service in our playground, that ensures our now.date file always has the current date.
$ cat playground/date/run
date > now.date
$ pgctl-2015 start
$ pgctl-2015 status
date -- up (0 seconds)
$ cat now.date
Fri Jun 26 15:21:26 PDT 2015
$ pgctl-2015 stop
$ pgctl-2015 status
date -- down (0 seconds)
