Restart process on fly

[seahindeniz]

Hi

I'm troubling with restarting a single process without stopping any other process that are running under concurrently. I have to restart concurrently all over again each time a process needs to be reloaded.

I think there is no command to restart a process by it's index number or maybe name while all processes are running.
An option like, nodemon's rs + Enter command that allows you to restart.

I think, using the same approach but with additionals would be good to have.
Something like:

• rs to restart all
• rs 1 by index number
• rs "watch" by name. Not sure but this one maybe cause issues with processes that may have named with numbers only.

See also entr which is a generic tool for watching any set of files/dirt and running/restarting a process on change.

Hi @cben
I just take a look at the examples in here and here and from what I can tell is that, entr was kind of based on file changes, correct me if I'm wrong. I also couldn't figure out the "dirt" reference on your suggestion.

My request is kind of having some sort of an input/method which gives you the ability to restart a process by force without depending on anything but user input.

Shameless plug: run-pty is a similar but different tool that lets you restart every process individually.
