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.

CONFIG
Common configuration parameters
job_name
Name for particulat job the script does. Script will log under this
name to logdb/logserver. The name is also used as default for PgQ
consumer name. It should be unique.
pidfile
Location for pid file. If not given, script is disallowed to
daemonize.
logfile
Location for log file.
loop_delay
If continuisly running process, how long to sleep after each work
loop, in seconds. Default: 1.
connection_lifetime
Close and reconnect older database connections.
use_skylog
foo.
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

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
disabled = 1
[pgqadm]

make program silent
-v, --verbose
