An Emacs package for running processes in the background.

---

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/johncoder/antics

Then, add this to your emacs configuration:

(load-file "~/path/to/antics/antics.el")

Configuration Files

To configure antics, create a text file and define the processes you'd like to run. Example:

'(:name "My Processes"
  :items
  ("List some files"
   :cwd "~/"
   :cmd "ls -la"))

When you run M-x antics RET it will prompt you to choose the file you just created. It then opens a tabulated list of these processes and allow you to manage them.
