Sze Siong Teo <szesiong@...>
Hi, it seems the CF only support 'web' process type as of now? I couldn't find much information about this in CF documentation
https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/prod-server.html#procfile Tried worker and cron from some other sites and Heroku seems no difference? |

If you need to run cron tasks you have several alternatives like:

- https://docs.run.pivotal.io/marketplace/services/temporize.html - https://github.com/18F/cg-cron - https://github.com/18F/cf-go-cron Look which of this fits better your reqs. For long running background process what you can do is to change the default startup command (cf push -c "your command" --health-check-type none | Be sure that you put --health-check-type none to avoid tcp port check | for more info run: cf push -h), or declare it in your deployment.yml ( https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/manifest.html). Let me know if you need any help. Thanks, Leandro.- 2017-04-05 15:22 GMT+02:00 Sze Siong Teo <szesiong(a)gmail.com>: Hi, it seems the CF only support 'web' process type as of now? I couldn't |

Support for Procfiles is currently being added to Cloud Foundry.
It is part of the V3 API, which are experimental at the moment, docs here: http://v3-apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/ You can follow progress towards V3 GA release in our tracker project here: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/135301677 -Zach |

Hi Zach,
I saw this "Experimental - Applications consisting of several processes via a Procfile" but is this a worker process feature for web app to achieve multi-process backend? What I'm looking for is to have CF support non-web long running process or cron jobs. Is that in the roadmap of CF development? Thanks. |

Yes, that is supported using the "--health-check-type none" option for cf

Hi Zach, thanks for the feedback.
Nevertheless, using "--health-check-type none" option sounds like a bit of hackish workaround? Is CF going to support monitoring for this kind of processes like conventional cron? Let's say if the invoked target process/script return a non-zero exit code and the stdout can be sent as notification via email or something similar? My main concern is without health check, then we will be having zero visibility whether a job is executed properly or failed. Thanks. |

--health-check-type none is misleading and the none value is deprecated in

favor of the type 'process' The none/process health check types will check if the process is alive and instance is restarted if the process dies. From the cf push help --health-check-type, -u Application health check type (Default: 'port', 'none' accepted for 'process', 'http' implies endpoint '/') -Dieu On Fri, Apr 7, 2017 at 12:10 AM, Sze Siong Teo <szesiong(a)gmail.com> wrote:
