Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

strong-service-upstart

Generate an Upstart job using the provided parameters.

Install

npm install strong-service-upstart

Basic Usage

var fs = require('fs');
var upstart = require('strong-service-upstart');

// Generate Upstart job for my-app
upstart({name: 'my-app'}, function(err, job) {
  fs.writeFile('/etc/init/my-app.conf', job, function(err) {
    if (err) console.error(err);
  });
});

// Also supports synchronous mode
fs.writeFileSync('/etc/init/my-app.conf', upstart({name: 'my-app'}));

Options

This module supports a subset of those used in the node-linux templates:

  • name - name of service. In comments in v1.4 and syslog tagging in v0.6. name is an alias for label and servicesummary.
  • description - multi-word description of service. description is an alias for servicedescription.
  • author - sets author field of Upstart job (defaults to current user)
  • cwd - working directory to run service from (defaults to /)
  • user - user to run service as (defaults to nodbody)
  • group - group to run service as (Upstart v1.4 only, defaults to nogroup)
  • execpath - path to binary to executable
  • script - arguments to execpath (such as a script)
  • created - timestamp used in generated job (defaults to current time)
  • env - environment variables to set in Upstart job
  • version - Upstart version to target: 0.6, 1.4(default)
  • template - override internal template

Upstart Versions

Upstart v1.4 added support for setuid and setgid, so the default template requires Upstart v1.4.

A job file compatible with older versions of Upstart can be generated by specifying version: '0.6' in the options (or by providing your own template).

Template Format

Templates use _.template from Lodash using EJS style syntax: <%= option %>.
