Run multiple processes from a single terminal.

npm install jointly --save-dev

Create a configuration jointly.config.json (or jointly.config.js) with tasks that should be executed:

[
  {
    "command": "ping",
    "args": ["google.com"]
  },
  {
    "command": "ping",
    "args": ["amazon.com"]
  }
]

To start tasks run:

jointly

You can explicitly pass a configuration file path:

jointly another.config.json

Configuration

Each task supports following options:

Determines when the task is considered fulfilled and allows its dependants to start:

• 'start' then dependants start immediately after this command is started.
• 'exit' then dependents start only after the command exits.
• The callback that receives a line that command printed to the stdout and returns true if dependent tasks should be started, or false otherwise.

Determines when the task is considered failed:

• 'auto' then the task is failed if the command exit code isn't 0.
• 'never' then the task is never failed.
• The callback that returns true is the task must be considered failed for a particular exit code.

The object with environment key-value pairs. By default, process.env is passed to a spawned task process.

Explicitly set the value of argv[0] sent to the child process. This will be set to command if not specified.

If false, then no shell is available. If true, runs command inside of a shell. Uses '/bin/sh' on Unix, and process.env.ComSpec on Windows. A different shell can be specified as a string. See Shell requirements and Default Windows shell.

No quoting or escaping of arguments is done on Windows. Ignored on Unix. This is set to true automatically when shell is specified and is CMD.
