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' ]
