Gaffa

A cross-platform process manager for procfile based applications in a single terminal. Has an interactive terminal UI.

There are some good Procfile-based process management tools around already:

• foreman
• overmind
• honcho

but they didn't work on the windows machines i have to work on. I do not need a lot of features, just some convenience to run my processes in a single terminal with a single command from my justfile.

Features

• Cross-platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux without tmux dependency
• Process Management: Start, stop, and restart processes individually in interactive mode
• Live Monitoring: Process status, uptime, and restart counts

Installation

cargo install gaffa

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/oryon-dominik/gaffa.git
