NAME

       scriptmgr - utility for controlling other skytools scripts.

SYNOPSIS

       scriptmgr.py [switches] config.ini <command> [-a | 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 eg [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.

       log_count
           Number of log files to keep. Default: 3

       log_size
           Max size for one log file. File is rotated if max size is reached. Default: 10485760
           (10M)

       use_skylog
           If set, search for [./skylog.ini, ~/.skylog.ini, /etc/skylog.ini]. If found then the
           file is used as config file for Pythons logging module. It allows setting up fully
           customizable logging setup.

   scriptmgr parameters
       config_list
           List of glob patters 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.

   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]
           script = ~/scripts/pgqadm.py

COMMAND LINE SWITCHES

       Following switches are common to all skytools.DBScript-based Python programs.

       -h, --help
           show help message and exit

       -q, --quiet
           make program silent

       -v, --verbose
           make program more verbose

       -d, --daemon
           make program go background

       Following switches are used to control already running process. The pidfile is read from
       config then signal is sent to process id specified there.

       -r, --reload
           reload config (send SIGHUP)

       -s, --stop
           stop program safely (send SIGINT)

       -k, --kill
           kill program immidiately (send SIGTERM)

       Options specific to scriptmgr:

       -a, --all
