Allow to disable a particular process with honcho start

[Patrick Browne]

Say I have a Procfile like :

web: ./webserver
postgres: postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres
celery: celery
redis: redis-server
mongo: mongod

Sometimes I want to work on my webserver so I exclude it from my Procfile by commenting the line so that I can launch it manually and restart it without restarting every services.

What is annoying is that my Procfile is checked in git so I have to remember not to commit the comment.

My solution for now is to use :

honcho start web postgres celery redis mongo

as my base command line and when I want to disable web, I can just remove it from there. I am pretty fine with it but I think it would be better if I could do:

honcho start --exclude web

or something like that. What do you think ?

Thanks !
