How to run multiple programs in RevPiPyLoad?

[elboyoloco1080]

I am trying to start multiple programs with RevPiPyLoad.
In the file /etc/revpipyload/revpipyload.conf I can add a single program (program_1.py) to the "plcprogram" line and this works.
How do I make 2 programs both run?
Something like:

Code: Select all

plcprogram = program_1.py ; program_2.py

All the examples found in online documentation only show one program.
Thank you for any help.

Hi elboyoloco1080!

I'm sorry to say that, but RevPiPyLoad can handle just one program!

As a workaround you could create a "start_all.py" file, where you import the other files with your programs, you like to run.

A little tricky thing is to handle the SIGTERM signal in the start_all.py file. You have to pass the signal to the other modules by calling a ".stop()" function for example.

If you need some code, let me know!
