The opposite of tee
command, combining stdout/stderr from multiple commands and kill them with one signal (Ctrl C).
-> command 1 stream ─┐
-> command 2 stream ─┤
└─ stdout/stderr/SIGINT to kill both
It means, you can write 2 parallel jobs in 1 npm script!!
// package.json
{
"scripts": {
"start": "too --cmd 'rails s' --cmd 'webpack'"
// Start server and client HMR in parallel,
// and you can kill both by one Ctrl C!!
},
}
Sometimes we do that,
% nohup rails server &
% nohup npm start-webpack &
# after you did some work
% pkill rails
% pkill webpack
I don't wanna do this any more, just wanna run multiple processes and kill them with one Ctrl C
!
% too --cmd 'rails server' --cmd 'npm start-webpack'
Then you will get
[0] rails # Rails log here
[1] npm # NPM log here
# And you can kill both by one `Ctrl C` (SIGINT)
Or you can define your tasks on a yaml file
# too.local.yaml
main:
jobs:
- run: rails server
- run: npm start-webpack
then
% too ./too.local.yaml
% npm install too
