dartmonit #

Monitor Dart scripts, and run them on startup. This is very early in the development stages, so expect some changes.

Running dartmonit as a daemon is currently only supported on Linux and Windows.

Installation #

For Unix/Linux variants:

pub global activate dartmonit

On Windows, you need to clone this repository, and add bin/dartmonit.bat to your PATH. The reason for this is that having dartmonit saved on your filesystem allows the install command to install the included Windows service, written in C#, and compiled to an .exe.

git clone https://github.com/thosakwe/dartmonit.git
SET PATH="<dartmonit-root>\bin";%PATH%

See here for a look at how to set environment variables system-wide.

To add a script to /etc/init.d:

sudo dartmonit env "PATH=$PATH" install

Usage #

dartmonit is essentially an HTTP server, which runs as a daemon and exposes a simple API.

Most of the CLI commands query a running API.

To manually start the server (not as a daemon):

dartmonit start
dartmonit start --port 2245

2245 is the default port.

Now, you can run it as a service:

sudo service dartmonit start
sudo /etc/init.d/dartmonit start

You may have better luck with the /etc/init.d variant, rather than service.
