application_carpool

A program for keeping all your applications alive in the background, similar to PM2.

Requirements

For building and running, Java 21+ is required. Other than that, you don’t need anything else.

Usage

This describes the general usage of Carpool. For clarity, carpool will refer to the executable in the following examples

Supervisor Daemon Management

Starting and stopping

carpool -start
carpool -stop

# NOTE: if the -log_level flag is used
# with -start, the log level will be
# set for the supervisor daemon as well
carpool -log_level=FINE -start

Status

carpool -status

Service Management

NOTE: the daemon must be started to use these

Adding and removing

carpool -add_service="./some-executable --args"
carpool -remove_service=<pid>

Listing

carpool -list_services

Configuration

Configuration is done via flags in the CLI’s arguments.

• -port (default 1099) – specifies the port of the RMI registry
• -log_directory (default ./logs/) – specifies the directory to place logs in
• -log_level (default Level.INFO) – specifies the logging level
  • Will apply to the supervisor as well if used with -start

Building and contributing

IntelliJ IDEA is recommended, but use what works for you. Gradle is used for building – use the build task to compile and the jar task to make a JAR.
