Run multiple processes concurrently, with support for cargo.

Written in Rust with ☕

Install with Cargo

$ cargo install concurrently

Getting Started

Create a tasks.toml file in the root of your project:

[tasks.client]
workspace = true  # Run the client cargo workspace member
retries = 3       # Retry 3 times before exiting
delay = "1s"      # Wait 1 second before running

[tasks.server]
workspace = true  # Run the server cargo workspace member
release = true    # Run in --release mode

[tasks.db]
command = [
  "docker",
  "run",
  "postgres",
]

Now you can simply run concurrently:

$ cargo concurrently
