PROGRAM:
NAME
multiwatch - forks and watches multiple instances of a program in the same environment
SYNOPSIS
multiwatch [options] -- <application> [app arguments]
multiwatch -v
multiwatch --help | -?
DESCRIPTION
multiwatch is used to fork and watch multiple FastCGI backends.
OPTIONS
-f, --forks=children
Number of children to fork and watch (default 1)
-r, --retry=retries
Number of retries to fork a single child (default 3)
-t, --timeout=msecs
Retry timeout in ms; if the child dies after the timeout the retry counter is
reset (default 10000 ms = 10 s)
-s, --signal=signame
Signal to send to children to signal 'graceful' termination
(HUP,INT,QUIT,TERM,USR1,USR2, default is USR1)
-?, --help
General usage instructions
-v, --version
Show version and exit
SIGNAL HANDLING
multiwatch will forward the signal USR2; if it receives HUP,INT,QUIT,TERM or USR1, it will
send the signal from --signal to the children; if it receives another signal from that
group, it will forward the signal again.
A signal of the group HUP,INT,QUIT,TERM and USR1 tells multiwatch to go into "shutdown"
mode, so it won't restart children after receiving it.
EXAMPLE
Spawn 2 rails instances on the same FastCGI socket (and supervise them):
spawn-fcgi -s /tmp/fastcgi-rails.sock -n -- /usr/bin/multiwatch -f 2
/home/rails/public/dispatch.fcgi
Use multiwatch online using onworks.net services
