GoJobs is a management tool for running concurrent bash commands in the same terminal. It logs the output of each command and tracks the final state.
It's intended as a simple way of monitoring the output of multiple services while testing, without having to run multiple terminals, background processes, or manually track PIDs.
Usage of gojobs:
-add
adds a command to the jobs file
-command string
command to run
-dir string
directory to run the command in
-env string
environment variables to set, formatted as a json list in the form of ["key=value"].
(default to shells environment variables)
-file string
file to use for jobs (default "jobs.json")
-filter string
filter log output using this regex
-logfile string
path to where logs are to be written or read from
-logs
output logs
-run
runs the commands in the jobs file
-shell string
the shell to run the command in (default "/bin/bash")
-tag string
tag to be applied to job output
You can add a command with only gojobs -add -command="[SHELL COMMAND]" -tag="[JOB TAG]".
All other arguments are optional.
Warning: gojobs will by default copy the current environment variables as part of the job spec into the config. To override this behavior, use the -env flag to specify values as a json list in the form of ["key=value"].
For example, to pass only home, and user, the flag would look like
-env='["HOME=/home/user_name","USER=user_name"]'
gojobs \
-add \
-command="[SHELL COMMAND]" \
-dir="[DIRECTORY TO RUN COMMAND]" \
-shell="[PATH TO SHELL]" \
-tag="[JOB TAG]" \
-env="[JSON OF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES]" \
-file="[CONFIG FILE]"
After adding a job to your config, you can immediately run it with gojobs -run. If no log
file is specified, then the output of the jobs will be written to the terminal only.
gojobs \
-run \
-file="[CONFIG FILE]" \
-logfile="[LOG FILE]"
Alternatively, you can add a job, and immediately run it by specifying a new job in the arguments. This will add the job to the config, and execute the config in one command.
gojobs \
-run \
-command="[SHELL COMMAND]" \
-dir="[DIRECTORY TO RUN COMMAND]" \
-shell="[PATH TO SHELL]" \
-tag="[JOB TAG]" \
-env="[JSON OF ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES]" \
-file="[CONFIG FILE]" \
-logfile="[LOG FILE]"
You can replay the log to the terminal with gojobs -logs -logfile="[LOG FILE]". This will
dump all command output to the terminal. You can filter logs by specifying a single tag to
output, by using a regex pattern to filter the log message field, or both.
gojobs \
-logs \
-tag="[FILTER ON THIS TAG]" \
-filter="[LOG FILTER REGEX]" \
-logfile="[LOG FILE]"
