#watch_tabnine

watch_tabnine is a lightweight daemon that ensures that TabNine doesn't eat all your memory by checking its memory consumption at regular intervals and killing it when it becomes too big.

watch_tabnine is written in the D programming language. No particular reason, it's just that I'm learning it, and needed this tool anyway. By design, it only runs on Linux.

#Download

At the moment there is no pre-built binary: you need to compile this yourself.

1. Install a D compiler (tested with DMD and LDC2)

2. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://git.sr.ht/~schnouki/watch_tabnine
   

3. Build it:

    make          # If using DMD
    make DC=ldc2  # If using LDC2
   

4. Run it:

    ./watch_tabnine
   

5. Optional: install it

    sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local
   

6. Optional: after installing it, run it through systemd:

    sudo sytemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl enable --now watch_tabnine
   

#Usage

watch_tabnine supports several command line options:

• -n, --name: name of the TabNine executable (default: TabNine)
• -m, --mem: max allowed memory in MB (default: 250 MB)
• -s, --swap: max allowed swap in MB (default: 100 MB)
• -w, --wait: delay between each check in seconds (default: 30s)
• -1, --once: only run once
