💖 makeflow_monitor(1) — the Makeflow log monitor, bestie edition 💖

okay so picture this: you're running a whole workflow and you just want to watch it happen, live, like it's a reality show. that's this page. it lives in section 1 of the manual for the Cooperative Computing Tools, and it's about to become your new hyperfixation. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

makeflow_monitor — the Makeflow log monitor. she watches, she reports, she slays. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

makeflow_monitor [options] <makeflowlog>

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so makeflow_monitor is a simple Makeflow log monitor — not complicated, not doing too much, just giving you the progress and the statistics of a workflow based on the <makeflowlog> you hand her. 🫶

and once she's started? she does not stop. she will continually monitor the <makeflowlog>s you gave her for new events and keep updating that progress display. it's giving loyal. it's giving devoted. it's giving main character energy. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h — show the help message and dip. that's it. that's the whole thing. exit stage left. 🎀
• -f <format> — the output format to emit.
• -t <seconds> — timeout for reading the logs. give her a time limit, she respects it.
• -m <minimum> — minimum number of tasks. (the original spells it "Mininum", but we're not gonna be weird about it — the number is what matters. 🙈)
• -S — sort logs by progress. organized queen. ⭐
• -P — parse dag for node information. (more on her below, and bestie… it's a whole thing. 😭)
• -H — hide finished makeflows. out of sight, out of mind, no notes. 🌈

---

right now, the only <format> that's supported is "text", which means makeflow_monitor will just display the progress of the workflows straight to your console. simple. clean. iconic.

and also — and I need you to hear this — the -P parameter currently does not do anything. like, it's there, it's parsed, it's just… vibing. no cap. 💀

---

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

• success? returns zero. we love a happy ending. 🥳
• failure? returns non-zero. she's telling you something went wrong, okay, listen to her. 😭

---

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

monitor one single Makeflow log, just the two of you:

makeflow_monitor Makeflow.makeflowlog

monitor multiple Makeflow logs and hide the finished workflows:

makeflow_monitor -H */*.makeflowlog

monitor multiple Makeflow logs under the current directory and only show the ones that are currently running with a minimum of 4 tasks:

find . -name '*.makeflowlog' | xargs makeflow_monitor -m 4 -H

the example right above this? absolute banger for hierarchical workflows. iykyk. 🍓
