edward to support "service start command" about edward HOT 4 OPEN

Because the call to service start is launching a daemon, it won't be opening a port itself. By default, Edward will expect a port to be opened before the process exits.

If you run:
sudo service mongod start

At the command line, is there any output that indicates that mongodb has started successfully? If so, you can use that in a launch check: http://engblog.yext.com/edward/projectconfig/#detecting-successful-launch

Thank you @theothertomelliott . I think I can use the port check to verify.

Great, let me know if that works out ok.

Which platform are you running on? We could also look into a backend to make it eaiser to start daemons like this in the future.

I am running on ubuntu 16.04, the port check not working. The config I'm using is :
"name": "mongo", "commands": { "launch": "sudo service mongod start", "stop" : "sudo service mongod stop" }, "launch_checks": { "ports": [27017] }, "requiresSudo" : true, "watch": { "include": [ "mongo" ] }
