Python script to run multiple servers simultaneously on a local machine on Mac.

There are a number of times we have a bunch of servers we need to run to fully run an application, yes i am talking about the microservice arch. It's annoying to go to each repo and get the server running. Below is the script for making it automated.

 #!/usr/bin/python3  """ Script that starts the servers from the "services" array. services = [ { "name": "service_name", "path": "path_to_service", "command": "command_to_run", },  ... ] for a single server, please pass the name of the service to start... author: msamgan created at: 2022-05-01 updated at: 2022-07-22 version: 1.1.0 signature: ./server | ./server <service_name> """ import os import sys services = [ ] # uncomment if on mac os.. # os.system("say 'booting shopini servers'") os.system("sleep 1") n = len(sys.argv) serverCommand = "" for service in services: if n > 1: if service["name"] != sys.argv[1]: continue # say = "say 'booting " + service["name"] + " server'"  # os.system(say)  os.system( "ttab.sh -w -t '" + service["name"] + "' -d " + service["path"] + " " + service["command"] ) # os.system( # "say 'all shopini servers are running at there full potentials, have a nice day!'" # ) # kill command: kill -9 $(lsof -ti:5100)
