An interactive Procfile runner, meant as a replacement for foreman when ran locally.

Main differences from foreman:

• stdout and stderr are written off-screen, and can be viewed interactively when you want to observe the log output.
• stdout and stderr viewing will use whatever is defined in PAGER, or more by default.
• Processes by default are launched, and then kept running. If a process dies, it is restarted. If you want to stop a process, you tell fiveman that you want it stopped.

Example:

Install:

git clone https://github.com/netshade/fiveman.git
cd fiveman
make install

Notes:

• Screen refresh slowness is a known issue
• Creates a setuid root binary currently. Processes created drop privilege, but still. ( Done to allow dtrace to inspect created processes on Mac OS X )
• If Dtrace fails, creates orphaned processes.
• Values reported by Dtrace inspection are not currently exact, should be marshalled into correct time windows or discarded
• Does not handle small screen sizes very well, values should compact better
• Works on Yosemite and El Capitan. El Capitan requires disabling system integrity protection.
