Add priority to commands

[ricardofabila]

Would be very cool if you could also add a priority int proprty to the commands for example if you use it for let's say a rails app or something. You may need to start the docker db and redis db before launching sidekiq and the rails server.

It would look something like this:

procs:
  rails:
    cmd: ["rails", "server", "--port", "3000"]
    cwd: "/Users/ricardofabilareyes/projects/backend"
    priority: 1
  sidekiq:
    cmd: ["bundle", "exec", "sidekiq", "-C", "config/sidekiq.yml"]
    cwd: "/Users/ricardofabilareyes/projects/backend"
    priority: 1
  database:
    cmd: ["docker", "start", "mento_db"]
    priority: 2
  redis:
    cmd: ["docker", "start", "redis-stack"]
    priority: 2

This way both database and redis would start before rails and sidekiq.

I love this program man, I even added it to my own pkg manager 😄

Workaround: sleep 1 && cmd this works for starting, stopping has no workaround. Often stopping needs to be reverse order to ensure clean exit.

Supervisor does this well: http://supervisord.org/configuration.html

Yeah I just created a simple bash script that does basically

sleep 5
rails serve

as my current work around, it works for my purposes, but I agree stopping can be an issue for some :nod:
