bobr

bobr is a simple command multiplexer, particularly useful for executing multiple commands in parallel. It supports both short-lived task execution and long-lived process management, such as running a backend and frontend simultaneously and managing their lifecycle together.

How to use

bobr executes all specified commands as child processes in parallel.

• bobr -c "sleep 5" -c "sleep 10" -c "sleep 2 && exit 1" Execute multiple commands in parallel as specified via the command line.
• bobr -c "sleep 5" -f ./tasks.sh Commands can also be loaded from a file for convenience.
• bobr -e --stdout=json -f ./tasks.sh This command propagates the stdout pipe from child tasks into the bobr stdout pipe, allowing output in JSON format.
