== NAME ==

scriptmgr - utility for controlling other skytools scripts.

== SYNOPSIS ==

  scriptmgr.py [switches] config.ini <command> [-a | -t service | job_name...]

== DESCRIPTION ==

scriptmgr is used to manage several scripts together.  It discovers
potential jobs based on config file glob expression.  From config file
it gets both job_name and service type (that is the main section name,
e.g. [cube_dispatcher]).  For each service type there is subsection
in the config how to handle it.  Unknown services are ignored.

  scriptmgr config.ini status

Show status for all known jobs.

== CONFIG ==

include::common.config.txt[]

=== scriptmgr parameters ===

config_list::
  List of glob patterns for finding config files.  Example:

    config_list = ~/dbscripts/conf/*.ini, ~/random/conf/*.ini

=== Service section parameters ===

cwd::
  Working directory for script.

args::
  Arguments to give to script, in addition to `-d`.

script::
  Path to script.  Unless script is in PATH, full path should be given.

disabled::
  If this service should be ignored.

user::
  Launch service as different unix user.  Scriptmgr uses `sudo`
  to switch users.  So it either needs to be run as root,
  or sudo config must allow it to launch daemons.

=== Example config file ===

  [scriptmgr]
  job_name        = scriptmgr_livesrv
  logfile         = ~/log/%(job_name)s.log
  pidfile         = ~/pid/%(job_name)s.pid

  config_list     = ~/scripts/conf/*.ini

  # defaults for all service sections
  [DEFAULT]
  cwd = ~/scripts

  [table_dispatcher]
  script = table_dispatcher.py
  args = -v

  [cube_dispatcher]
  script = python2.4 cube_dispatcher.py
