A dead simple user-level service manager for Linux written in Rust.
Sometimes you want to just run a few programs in the background (e.g. i3 exec) without writing some lengthy systemd user services.
This repository builds two binaries: cog and cogd. When you first start cogd, it will generate an empty .config/cogd.yml file that you can populate with a list of processes to run. cogd will automatically listen for config file modifications and start/stop the required processes.
All services listed are expected to run forever; if they exit for any reason, cogd will wait 1 second and restart them.
To view the status of your processes, you can run cog, which will print out all processes known to cogd like so:
Services under management by cogd:
- [ RUNNING ] sleep infinity
...
- cgroup management, a la systemd
- A more featureful
cogtool (currently all it can do is list processes)
