NAME

homer - Launch daemons

SYNOPSIS

homer [-q] [-p file] [[-o file] [-e file] | -O file] <command>

DESCRIPTION

Launch the command <command> as a daemon. All options must be given before the command, anything given after it will be passed to the command itself.

OPTIONS

-e file

Redirect stderr to a file. If it already exists, new data will be appended to its content.

-h

Print the help and exit

-o file

Redirect stdout to a file. See also -e.

-O file

Redirect both stdout and stderr to the same file. This is equivalent to using -e and -o with the same file.

-p file

Write the PID of the daemon to a file.

-q

Quiet mode. By default, a success message with the PID of the new process is printed. This option removes it but doesn't suppress possible error messages.

-v

Print the version and exit

EXAMPLES

Start a program with an unique log:

homer -O myserver.log myserver --my-option my-arg

Quiet mode and PID file:

homer -q -p mycmd.pid -o mycmd.out -e mycmd.err mycmd
