Manage external services from within Emacs.

Defining services

A minimal example to define a service with honcho-define-service

    (honcho-define-service python-server
      :command ("python" "-m" "http.server"))

To list the services, use M-x honcho. There is also M-x honcho-procfile to load services from a Procfile.

    (honcho-define-service node-server
      :command ("node" "server.js")
      :cwd     "/path/to/project/"
      :env     (("NODE_ENV"  . "development")
                ("REDIS_URL" . "redis://localhost:6379/0")))

Troubleshooting

• The service buffer contains ANSI control sequences

  honcho uses compilation-mode underneath, it's recommended to setup xterm-color for compilation-mode.
