I'm working on a Django website where I have various compilation programs that need to run (Compass/Sass, coffeescript, hamlpy), so I made this shell script for convenience:
#!/bin/bash
SITE=/home/dev/sites/rmx
echo "RMX using siteroot=$SITE"
$SITE/rmx/manage.py runserver &
PIDS[0]=$!
compass watch $SITE/media/compass/ &
PIDS[1]=$!
coffee -o $SITE/media/js -cw $SITE/media/coffee &
PIDS[2]=$!
hamlpy-watcher $SITE/templates/hamlpy $SITE/templates/templates &
PIDS[3]=$!
trap "echo PIDS: ${PIDS[*]} && kill ${PIDS[*]}" SIGINT
wait
Everything except for the Django server shuts down nicely on a ctrl+c
because the PID of the server process isn't the PID of the python manage.py runserver
command. Which means everytime I stop the script, I have to find the running process PID and shut it down.
Here's an example:
$> ./compile.sh
RMX using siteroot....
...
[ctrl+c]
PIDS: 29725 29726 29728 29729
$> ps -A | grep python
29732 pts/2 00:00:00 python
The first PID, 29725
, is the initial python manage.py runserver
call, but 29732
is the actual dev server process.
edit Looks like this is due to Django's auto-reload feature which can be disabled with the --noreload
flag. Since I'd like to keep the auto reload feature, the question now becomes how to kill the child processes from the bash script. I would think killing the initial python runserver command would do it...
SOLVED
Thanks to this SO question, I've changed my script to this:
#!/bin/bash
SITE=/home/dev/sites/rmx
echo "RMX using siteroot=$SITE"
$SITE/rmx/manage.py runserver &
compass watch $SITE/media/compass/ &
coffee -o $SITE/media/js -cw $SITE/media/coffee &
hamlpy-watcher $SITE/templates/hamlpy $SITE/templates/templates &
trap "kill -TERM -$$" SIGINT
wait
PIDs preceded with the dash operate on the PID group with the kill
command, and the $$
references the PID of the bash script itself.
Thanks for the help, me!
No problem, self, and hey -- you're awesome.
