Config File
A config file lets you define what process you want to run in your mongroup. It also lets you set the directories for where your pids and logs are stored. Here is an example config file:
pids = /var/run/
logs = /var/log/
on-error = ./alert error
on-restart = ./alert restart
web = node server 8001
web2 = node server 8002
redis = redis-server
Failure Hooks
Mongroup leverages mon(1)'s --on-error <cmd> and --on-restart <cmd> flags
to facilitate reporting and alerting. For example here's a simple non-useful
node script outputting to stdio:
#!/usr/bin/env node
console.log(process.argv);
/*
example:
[ 'node',
'/Users/tj/projects/mongroup/example/alert.js',
'restart',
'web2',
'58119' ]
