tinyrun executes multiple commands in parallel with minimal footprint (~2KB).

It can run one-off commands:

tinyrun "pnpm build" "pnpm build:docs"

or commands that keep running in background:

tinyrun --names "HTTP" "node examples/server.js"

HTTP started pid=13030
HTTP Server is listening on port 3000
c^CHTTP Received shutdown signal, shutting down gracefully...
HTTP Closed out remaining connections
HTTP cmd='node examples/server.js' exitCode=0 signalCode=null duration=2s

Install

npm install tinyrun --global
