sysdm

Scripts as a service. Builds on systemd.

It gives you the best from screen, cronjobs, supervisord, systemctl and journalctl.

Installation

pip install sysdm

Demo

Usage examples

sysdm create myfile.py               # creates, starts and enables a new service file
sysdm create myfile.py --timer daily # the above + schedules it to run daily
sysdm ls                             # see the known services created by sysdm
sysdm delete                         # see the known services and select to delete
sysdm run                            # run the app in the foreground (e.g for debugging)

Features

Creating and viewing have just helped you with:

• Generate a systemd unit file on the fly
• Uses current info to determine, and pin, working directory and virtualenv paths in your unit.
• Script will start running, and also boot on start
• Script will restart on error
• Script can also be started on a schedule (e.g. --timer daily), using systemd timers
• Changes to files in the directory of the same extension will cause a reload (e.g. .py)
• Provides a UI for inspecting the logs of your script and start, stop etc
• Like with screen, you can leave and it will keep on running.
• Multiple people can look at it, too, when sharing a server.
• Provides flags to change settings
• UI is aware of the window-size
