PMO - Process Manager Omni

A lightweight process manager inspired by PM2, but designed primarily for development environments.

Features

• start, stop, and restart services, similar to PM2
• Simple YAML configuration
• Real-time logs with highlight
• Automatic log rotation per run (keeps up to 30 log files)
• Environment variable support
• Automatic .env file loading
• Multi-machine support with hostname-specific directories (for shared NAS environments)
• Service configuration inheritance via extends

Installation

pip install pmo

Usage

Quick Start

1. Create a pmo.yml file in your project:

# Simple format, just like procfile
web-server: node server.js

# Detailed format
api-server:
  cmd: python api.py
  cwd: ./api
  env:
    NODE_ENV: development

2. Optional: Create a .env file for shared environment variables:

# This will apply to all services
DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost:5432/mydb
DEBUG=true

3. Start your services:

pmo start all
# or start specific services
pmo start web-server api-server

4. List your services:

pmo ls

Output:

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  id  | name      |        pid |   uptime |   status    |        cpu |        mem |    gpu mem | gpu id | user       |
|------+-----------+------------+----------+-------------+------------+------------+------------+--------+------------|

|  2   | vllm-2    |     482954 |  25m 15s |   running   |       0.0% |        1mb |  20632 MiB |   2    | simpx      |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Commands

pmo start   [all | service-name | service-id]
pmo stop    [all | service-name | service-id]
pmo restart [all | service-name | service-id]
pmo logs    [all | service-name | service-id]
pmo flush   [all | service-name | service-id]
pmo dry-run [all | service-name | service-id]
pmo ls
pmo status  [all | service-name | service-id]

Configuration

The pmo.yml file supports two formats:

1. Simple: service-name: command
2. Detailed:

   service-name:
     cmd: command
     cwd: working directory (optional)
     env:
       KEY: value

Extending Services

Services can reuse definitions with extends:

base:
  cmd: python app.py
  env:
    DEBUG: true

worker:
  extends: base
  cmd: python worker.py
  env:
    WORKER: yes

Environment variables are merged recursively.

PMO manages runtime data in the .pmo directory with logs and PID files.

Multi-machine Support

PMO now supports multiple machines sharing the same configuration through a shared filesystem (like NAS). Each machine will store its process information in a hostname-specific directory:

.pmo/
  hostname1/
    pids/
    logs/
  hostname2/
    pids/
    logs/

This allows processes on different machines to be managed separately even when sharing the same configuration files.
