simplevisor-loop [Options] COMMAND...

By default, this program executes the given command in a loop, forever, until the command fails (i.e. return a non zero exit status).

It can optionally sleep between consecutive executions of the command (see the --sleep option) and stop after a given number of executions (see the --count option).

--count,  -c INTEGER

--daemon

detach simplevisor-loop so that it becomes a daemon running in the background; debug, warning and error messages get sent to syslog

--debug,  -d

show debugging information

--help,  -h,  -?

show some help

--manual,  -m

show this manual

--pidfile PATH

use this pid file

--quit

tell another instance of simplevisor-loop (identified by its pid file, as specified by the --pidfile option) to quit

--sleep,  -s NUMBER

sleep during the given number of seconds between executions of the command; can be fractional

--status

get the status of another instance of simplevisor-loop (identified by its pid file, as specified by the --pidfile option); the exit code will be zero if the instance is alive and non-zero otherwise
