Doc (extends : asynchronous-eventemitter)

Attributes

• maxCountRun: number max start iteration
• successCountRun: number current success start iteration

• constructor(software: string, args?: Array<string>, options?: object) => see spawn documentation

Methods

• max(maxIteration: number) : this change max iterations and reset current
• infinite() : this no max iteration and reset current
• start() : this run the software for the first time
• end() : this stop the software and does not restart it

Events

• on("error", (err: Error) => void) : this fire if an error occurs (use try/catch to avoid loop)

• on("firststart", () => void) : this fire if the software starts for the first time

• on("restart", () => void) : this fire if the software restarts

• on("start", (child_process: child_process.ChildProcess) => void) : this fire if the software starts (firststart && restart) => see spawn documentation

• on("stop", () => void) : this fire if the software is killed

• on("end", () => void) : this fire if the software is killed and cannot be restarted
