GodWit Daemon

A daemon runner for GodWit.

Godwit-daemon is a runner for managing godwit processes. This utility is implicitly used by godwit itself. The utility is exposed for developers/power-users to create their own projects, but for a normal user something better might already exist on the godwit command itself as a plugin.

For developers, this utility should be considered as a crucial botch. A project made using this utility is also recommended to have a plugin-like front usable by godwit. The intention is to keep godwit as a complete cover over the daemon.

The "daemon" etymology does not represent daemons in conventional sense. The utility considers any process running on managed thread as a daemon. Unlike daemons though, the runner never detaches/loses focus of the process at hand. Thus, it's better to look at the utility itself as a daemon, which doesn't follow written states like godwit.

Install

The daemon is bundled with GodWit and can be installed as a dependency. If only the daemon is required, it is alse available on AUR and PPA repositories as a separate package.

Simply install it using

$ yay -Syu godwit-daemon

OR

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:passeriform/ppa
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install godwit-daemon

Use

Start by creating a new tracer.

$ godwit-daemon new trace <application>

To store the trace to log.

$ godwit-daemon new trace <application> > my.trace

To run process through trace pruning.

# The file my.trace will continuously update as steps are pruned.
$ godwit-daemon regress trace <application>
 > my.trace

To kill all associated nodes and drop resources.

$ godwit-daemon die
