god

Keep an eye on some process running. God will restart your program if it exits unexpected. This is helpful when you don't have time 24/7 to watch over your applications. It restarts program on SIGHUP, graceful restart on SIGUSR2 and forward SIGUSR1.

Be aware this may not work well if your program forks another process, special in watch mode.

Usage

go build

run

>> ./god --pidfile god.pid -s go run test_program/test_bin.go
