Since the pid file is internal to us, start moving toward deprecating it
by not requiring the user to specify it.
In the next release, I plan on working on code to start phasing out the
use of a pid file if this is possible.
The pidfile of the supervisor doesn't need to be adjustable by the
service script. It is only used so the supervisor can stop itself when
the --stop option is used.
Health checks are a way to monitor a service and make sure it stays
healthy.
If a service is not healthy, it will be automatically restarted after
running the unhealthy() function to clean up.
Add the following variables to expose more arguments that can be passed
to start-stop-daemon or supervise-daemon:
- directory will be passed to --chdir
- error_log will be passed to --stderr
- output_log will be passed to --stdout
- umask will be passed to umask
This is for #184.
This is to be used if the service is being supervised and the
supervisor is somehow killed.
Currently, this is very linux specific, but I will expand to other
platforms, patches are welcome.
The --retry option for supervise-daemon defines how the supervisor will
attempt to stop the child process it is monitoring. It is defined when
the supervisor is started since stopping the supervisor just sends a
signal to the active supervisor.
This fixes#160.
This creates --respawn-delay, --respawn-max and --respawn-period. It was
suggested that it would be easier to follow if the options were
separated.
This is for #126.
Allow limiting the number of times supervise-daemon will attempt to respawn a
daemon once it has died to prevent infinite respawning. Also, set a
reasonable default limit (10 times in a 5 second period).
This is for issue #126.
