Process Manager

You may write plenty of python scripts for different kinds of work. Process manager allows centralized management of your scripts in a single location.

What can you do?

• You can start, stop, restart your scripts.
• When your scripts are running, you can monitor their status via a table. Scripts' health (whether an error occurs), start time, running time, etc. are shown.
• You can view output of your scripts by double-clicking corresponding row of the process manager table.
• You can save your process manager table, and load it after next launch. You can also set them to be autostarted.

Q & A

1. Q: Why can't I see my scripts' output in real-time?
   A: This maybe because you didn't flush your stdout. Set flush = True when using Python's built-in print function. For example,

   print("something", flush=True)
   

2. Q: Why my script meets an error, but process manager still says that my script doesn't have one?
   A: Currently, only error goes into stderr can be recognized. Notice that errors in try-except block don't go into stderr. So, if you don't raise it again, no error will be noticed.
