procman 2.0.0

Tabbed GUI to start/stop/monitor programs

manman

Compact GUI for deployment and monitoring of servers and applications associated with specific tasks or apparatuses.

The GUI can control multiple independent apparatuses in different tabs.

The 'status' column dynamically shows the color-coded status of the server.

The commands are executed by right clicking on the cells in the 'Applications' (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 of the current tab (Edit),
• condense and expand table arrangement (Condense and Uncondense).

The following actions are defined for regular rows:

• Check
• Start
• Stop
• Command: will display the command for starting the server/application

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

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