.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Foreman is a manager for Procfile\-based applications\. Its aim is to abstract away the details of the Procfile format, and allow you to either run your application directly or export it to some other process management format\.
.
.SH "RUNNING"
\fBforeman start\fR is used to run your application directly from the command line\.
.
.P
If no additional parameters are passed, foreman will run one instance of each type of process defined in your Procfile\.
.
.P
If a parameter is passed, foreman will run one instance of the specified application type\.
.
.P
The following options control how the application is run:
.
.TP
\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-formation\fR
Specify the number of each process type to run\. The value passed in should be in the format \fBprocess=num,process=num\fR

.TP
\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-timeout\fR
Specify the amount of time (in seconds) processes have to shutdown gracefully before receiving a SIGKILL, defaults to 5\.
.
.P
\fBforeman run\fR is used to run one\-off commands using the same environment as your defined processes\.
.
.SH "EXPORTING"
\fBforeman export\fR is used to export your application to another process management format\.
.
.P
A location to export can be passed as an argument\. This argument may be either required or optional depending on the export format\.
.
.P
The following options control how the application is run:
.
.TP
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-app\fR
Use this name rather than the application\'s root directory name as the name of the application when exporting\.

.
.P
\fBsystemctl start appname\.target\fR
.
.P
\fBsystemctl stop appname\-processname\.target\fR
.
.P
\fBsystemctl restart appname\-processname\.3\.service\fR
.
\fBsystemctl restart appname\-processname\-3\.service\fR
.SH "UPSTART EXPORT"
Will create a series of upstart scripts in the location you specify\. Scripts will be structured to make the following commands valid:

.
.P
\fBstop appname\-processname\fR
.
.P
\fBrestart appname\-processname\-3\fR
.
.SH "PROCFILE"
A Procfile should contain both a name for the process and the command used to run it\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

web: bundle exec thin start
job: bundle exec rake jobs:work
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
A process name may contain letters, numbers and the underscore character\. You can validate your Procfile format using the \fBcheck\fR command:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

$ foreman check
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
The special environment variables \fB$PORT\fR and \fB$PS\fR are available within the Procfile\. \fB$PORT\fR is the port selected for that process\. \fB$PS\fR is the name of the process for the line\.
.
.P
The \fB$PORT\fR value starts as the base port as specified by \fB\-p\fR, then increments by 100 for each new process line\. Multiple instances of the same process are assigned \fB$PORT\fR values that increment by 1\.
.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
If a \fB\.env\fR file exists in the current directory, the default environment will be read from it\. This file should contain key/value pairs, separated by \fB=\fR, with one key/value pair per line\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

FOO=bar
BAZ=qux
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.SH "DEFAULT OPTIONS"
If a \fB\.foreman\fR file exists in the current directory, default options will be read from it\. This file should be in YAML format with the long option name as keys\. Example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

formation: alpha=0,bravo=1
port: 15000
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
Start one instance of each process type, interleave the output on stdout:
.

.IP "" 0
.
.P
Start all processes except the one named worker:
