Process Management Tool | Auto Restarts | Advanced Events | And More Warning 1.1.1 Breaking API Changes

Revive

A process management tool. Events, status, cluster, and automatic restarts.

Install

npm install revive

Example

const Revive = require('revive');
 
const options = {
    name: 'test',
 
    cmd: process.execPath,
 
    arg: ['app.js'],
    env: { PORT: 8000 },
    cwd: '/home/user/code/node/app/.',
 
    cluster: true,
    instances: 2,
 
    stdout: '/logs/stdout.log',
    stderr: '/logs/stderr.log',
 
    sleepTime: 1000,
    crashTime: 6 * 1000,
    maxCrashCount: 1000
};
 
const monitor = Revive(options);
 
monitor.on('start', function () {
    console.log(monitor.toJSON());
});
 
monitor.start();

Options

  • name: String Defaults to null the name of the process.

  • arg: Array, String Defaults to null arguments or node script.

  • cwd: String Defaults to process.cwd() the current working directory.

  • cmd: String Defaults to process.execPath the systems absolute executable/node path.

  • cluster: Boolean Defaults to false.

  • instances: Number Defaults to Os.cpus().length if cluster is set to true

  • stdout: String Defaults to 'pipe' otherwise a file path. If a path is provided than this event will not fire.

  • stderr: String Defaults to 'pipe' otherwise a file path. If a path is provided than this event will not fire.

  • sleepTime: Array, Number Defaults to 1000 in milliseconds to sleep between start after a crash.

  • crashTime: Number Defaults to 60000ms. The time until the maxCrashCount resets. So if 1000 crashes happen in 60s then the process will exit.

  • maxCrashCount: Number Defaults to 1000 crashes. A crash is triggered and the process exited at nth + 1.

  • env: {} Environment variables for the process.

  • data: {} A custom object for you.

API

  • monitor.start() Starts the monitor

  • monitor.stop() Stops the monitor (kills the process if its running with SIGKILL).

  • monitor.restart() Restarts the monitor by stopping then starting (process must be started).

  • monitor.toJSON() Creates a stringyifiable object. The object returns stats and data about the process.

Cluster Events

  • monitor.on('status', callback)

  • monitor.on('start', callback) Starts the process. Warning async so process may not be available immediately.

  • monitor.on('stop', callback) The process and it's tree is sent a SIGTERM signal. If the process does not terminate after ten seconds then the process is sent a SIGKILL signal.

  • monitor.on('restart', callback) Same as stopping then starting or vice versa.

  • monitor.on('stdout', callback) Emits an stdout. Only available if no Options.stdout is pipe.

    • Stdout Parameter the stdout message.
  • monitor.on('stderr', callback) Emits an stderr. Only available if no Options.stderr is pipe.

    • Stderr Parameter the stderr message.
  • monitor.on('error', callback) Emits when the process could not spawn, kill, or a message failed.

    • Error Parameter the error message.
  • monitor.on('exit', callback) The process has exited.

    • Code The numeric exit code
    • Signal The string signal

Instance Events

  • monitor.on('reload', callback) Zero downtime restart if cluster is set to true and instances is greater than one.

  • monitor.on('sleep', callback) Triggered when process crashes and enters sleep.

  • monitor.on('crash', callback) Triggered when the process crashes.

Issues

Immediate start then stop execution does not send the signals. This could be a problem with node.js.
