You can daemonize a process this way:\n\n```sh\nnohup horsetab serve \u003e\u003e stdout.log 2\u003e\u003e stderr.log \u0026\n```\n\nShow the help message to learn more:\n\n```sh\nhorsetab --help\n```\n\n## Configuration File\n\nConfiguration can be done by executing:\n\n```sh\nhorsetab edit\n```\n\nHere's a full example:\n\n```sh\n####################\n#   Example File   #\n####################\n\nSOME_VARIABLE=1\nMY_USER=$(whoami)\n\n# Source a file (containing aliases, variables, etc)\n. /home/user/some_file\n\n# Define commands\n# Start with a morse sequence (at least two characters)\n# After the sequence, add the command to execute\n# .   --\u003e  short click\n# -   --\u003e  long click\n\n.-.-.- some_sourced_alias\n...---- another_command.sh \u003e /dev/null 2\u003e\u00261\n..-..- echo \"My user is $MY_USER and variable is $SOME_VARIABLE\"\n\n# Note: Do NOT conditionally define commands like this:\n# if CONDITION; then\n#   .-.- my_command\n# fi\n#\n# ^ BAD!\n#\n# Morse sequence commands are always parsed.\n# This code would compile, but the morse command would be extracted out of\n# the if statement anyway by the parser and made available to be triggered.\n```\n\n## Windows Support\n\nOn Windows, install using Cargo, but run using [Cygwin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin) (Unix-like environment).\n\nCurrently, it seems to work properly only on Cygwin. There are several issues when running it with CMD or Powershell. No alternatives to Cygwin have been reported to work correctly.\n\n### Kill a Process\n\nProcesses in Cygwin have both a PID and a WINPID, so the PID shown by `horsetab ps` may not work if you want to kill the process. Use `ps aux` to find the correct PID.\n\n## Credits\n\nMade by Chris Vilches using the Rust programming language.\n\n```\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡏⢻⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⢿⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⡰⢛⡇⢸⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⡶⠶⢋⣩⠴⢿⣿⣠⣾⠇⢹⢦⠻⣾⠁⣼⢀⡿⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⣀⡴⠋⠀⣴⣾⠿⠛⣁⣴⡿⣼⢀⠘⢷⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⢟⣿⡿⠋⠀⣠⡾⠋⠀⠀⢰⣿⣥⣶⡿⠟⢋⡴⢃⡎⡗⠀⠈⢿⠦⣄⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣿⣿⠟⢡⣿⠟⠀⢠⡾⠋⠀⠀⢀⣴⢿⡟⠋⠁⠒⠚⠋⠀⣼⣻⠁⠀⠀⠈⣧⠙⢧⡀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⠟⠁⢰⡿⠃⠀⣰⡟⠁⠀⠀⢠⠟⠁⢸⡇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠀⠀⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⣤⠃\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⢏⡄⢀⣿⠃⠀⢰⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢀⡇⠀⣤⣤⡉⢢⡀⠻⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⡀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⢃⡞⠀⣼⡇⠀⢠⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠿⣿⠿⡾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡿⠋⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠏⣾⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⡇⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡆⣾⣿⢀⡇⠀⠀⣿⡀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣦⠀⠀⢧⠀⡇⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡞⠁⢻⡇⠸⡇⠀⠀⠈⠃⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡆⠀⠸⣦⠇⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠀⠀⢸⣷⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢣⠀⠀⢻⡀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⢿⡟⠀⠀⠸⣿⡆⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⠀⠻⣆⡀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢧⠀⠀\n⠲⠴⠶⠟⢁⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡌⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠉⠛⠶⢾⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠸⡇⠀\n⠀⢠⣤⡶⠛⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢳⡀⠀⠀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢽⣄\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⣿⠻⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢳⠀⢰⢱⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡿\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣷⣄⢠⣿⠀⠈⢿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣇⠈⠺⣿⣷⡆⠀⢰⣿⠅\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢳⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣇⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⢨⡏⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠈⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⡦⣄⣀⣤⠴⠋⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⣿⠟⠿⣿⣿⣦⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣦⡀⣼⡟⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣷⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠻⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠇⠀⠙⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡿⠋⠘⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠞⠀⠀⠀⠸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀\n```\n\n*But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by... morse?*\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchrisvilches%2Fhorsetab","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fchrisvilches%2Fhorsetab","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchrisvilches%2Fhorsetab/lists"}
