Daemonise
Use this library to run any process in the background without blocking the console. It will start a child process, detach it, and save its PID to daemonise.json
in order to be able to stop it later.
Installation
yarn add avris-daemonise
Usage
The following command:
node_modules/.bin/avris-daemonise start webserver node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server \\--config ./webpack.config.js
will execute node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server --config ./webpack.config.js
in the background and save the PID to ./daemonise.json
under the name webserver
.
Note that the dashes have to be escaped with a double backslash (\\--option
), otherwise they are treated as options for daemonise
and not for the child process.
stdout
and stderr
will be saved to ./daemonise.log
. You can change it with the --log
option.
To stop the server, execute:
node_modules/.bin/avris-daemonise stop webserver
Suggested .gitignore
entries:
/daemonise.json
/daemonise.log
