Control of all applications in a table

The commands are executed by right clicking on the cells in leftmost column. The top left cell executes table-wide commands: Check All, Start All, Stop All It also holds commands to

• delete current tab (Delete),
• edit the table (Edit),
• condense and expannd table arrangement (Condense and Uncondense).

Configuration

The following actions are defined for managers:

• Check
• Start
• Stop
• Command: will display the command for starting the manager

Definition of actions, associated with an apparatus, are defined in the startup dictionary of the python scripts, code-named as apparatus_NAME.py. See examples in the config directory.

Supported keys are:

• 'cmd': command which will be used to start and stop the manager,
• 'cd': directory (if needed), from where to run the cmd,
• 'process': used for checking/stopping the manager to identify the manager's process. If cmd properly identifies the manager, then this key is not necessary,
• 'shell': some managers require shell=True option for subprocess.Popen()
• 'help': it will be used as a tooltip,

• python -m manman -c config apparatus1_test.py apparatus3_TST.py
  Control two apparatuses from the ./config directory
• python -m manman -c config
  Interacively select apparatuses from the ./config directory
