Services Module

Botman

Compatibility:

Description

This module allows to (start|stop|restart) services on the system.
For GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, a configuration file must be written to know which commands to use for this.
For Windows machines, Microsoft exports an API to do it, so no configuration file is needed.

Configuration

Example configuration file (/usr/local/etc/gotham/modules.conf.d/services.conf):

{
   "commands" : {
      "start" : "service %s start",
      "stop" : "service %s stop",
      "restart" : "service %s restart"
   }
}

Query botmans through Alfred

It is possible to make Alfred able to query botmans for you by combining the power of the spam and rewrite modules.
You can add the following JSON object as a new rule of the rewrite module’s configuration file:

{
   "name":     ".service",
   "filter":   ".service*",
   "rule":     "sed -r 's/^.service *([^ ]*) +(.*)/.spam \\1 .service \\2/'",
   "description": ".service <pattern> <serviceparameter> <servicename>"
}

Commands

• Start
• Stop
• Restart
