NAME
     immortaldir - start services located in a specified directory.

SYNOPSIS
     immortalctl [dir] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
     immortaldir  will scan every 5 seconds a directory searching for files end-
     ing in .yml and track changes. The YAML files  should  conform  the  immor-
     tal(8) configuration format.

     If  a  file  changes the service will be restarted, immortalctl(8) exit and
     stop.

     If a file is touched and service  is  down,  it  will  be	started,  immor-
     talctl(8) start.

     If  a  file is removed, the supervisor will exit, immortalctl(8) exit, this
     may end the existing process but in cases where the PID is  been  followed,
     only the supervisor will exit.

     Based  on your operating system the directory containing the services could
     be:

	 /usr/local/etc/immortal

     or

	 /etc/immortal

     immortaldir checks for changes also in the IMMORTAL_SDIR directory in order
     to restart services that are not anymore running, for example when  a  ser-
     vice  has been halted (signal halt) this helps to automatically restart the
     service.

     When dealing with multiple operating systems could be handy to use a unique
     location like /immortal

     To keep services persistent across reboots a startup script should be  used
     to run immortaldir on boot time.

OPTIONS
     dir Path of directory containing immortal configuration files "*.yml"

     -v print current version

ENVIRONMENT
     IMMORTAL_SDIR
	    This  environment  variable allows to override the default supervise
	    directory /var/run/immortal, used also by immortalctl(8) and  immor-
	    tal(8)  By	default  immortaldir  after finding a configuration file
	    "service.yml" will invoke immortal(8) and pass to it the option:

		-ctl <service>

	    This will create the  directory "service" in /var/run/immortal:

		/var/run/immortal/service
				 |--lock
				 `--immortal.sock

		lock is a file that prevents running more  than  once  the  same
	    service
		immortal.sock  is  a  Unix socket that can be used to manage the
	    process, example:

		Get status:
		    curl --unix-socket immortal.sock http:/status -s

		Down. If the service is running, send it a TERM signal. After it
	    stops, do not restart it:
		    curl --unix-socket immortal.sock http://im/signal/down -s

		Start:
		    curl --unix-socket immortal.sock http://im/signal/start -s

	    If a different path instead of /var/run/immortal  is  required,  the
	    IMMORTAL_SDIR environment variable can be used.

EXAMPLES
     Read configuration files from /etc/immortal:

	 immortaldir /etc/immortal

     Read  configuration  files from /srv/immortal and create supervise directo-
     ries on /var/www/immortal

	 export IMMORTAL_SDIR=/var/www/immortal

	 immortaldir /srv/immortal
