2. Make sure its run when your system boots

Manual

1. Clone repo

2.  sudo ./gradlew testInstallUnix

Configure

1. Run watcher one times manualy
2. Watcher creates a config.json. This is located at /usr/share/processwatcher/ when it can write to this directory. Else it writes the configuration to the path of its executible or to the current working directory
3. Open config.json in a text editor
4. For Example:

{
 "attemps": 5,
 "refresh": 10,
 "link": ["link to another config.json","link to another config.json"],
 "work": [
    {
      "process": "the programm",
      "arguments": ["list","of","arguments"],
      "id": "id",
      "test": {
         "test": "test command",
         "expect": "expected return value of test command"
       } 
    }
   ]
  }

Additional Hints

attempts: How often ProcessWatcher should try to start keepAlive programes in one refresh circle. No impact in child confs

refresh: How long ProcessWatcher should wait between the refresh circles. No impact in child confs

Keepalive: Immediately Restart the Process if it stops. Logs output in logFile and try the number of attempts to restart. The attempts resets if one refresh circle is over.

Test: Is not necessary
