mprocs
A terminal tool to run and manage multiple commands in parallel with separate output panes and interactive controls.
What is mprocs?
mprocs is a command-line utility that runs multiple shell commands in parallel, displaying each command's output in a separate, switchable pane. It simplifies development workflows by allowing users to define a set of common project commands (like servers, watchers, or tests) in a configuration file and launch them all with a single command.
Developers and DevOps engineers who need to manage multiple concurrent processes during development, such as running web servers, test watchers, build tools, and interactive editors simultaneously.
Unlike similar tools, mprocs provides separate, scrollable output panes for each command and allows interactive process management (start, stop, restart, kill) via keyboard shortcuts, making it ideal for visualizing and controlling finite-lifetime processes like compilers and test runners.
