redlock-cli

A command line tool providing a distributed lock built on top of Redis.

Usage:

redlock -s localhost:6379 -l mylock --ttl 60 -- echo foo

This will try to acquire the global lock with the name mylock in Redis for at least 60 seconds. When lock is acquired, the command is executed. The lock is released when the command finishes, or the ttl expires. Additional parameter --timeout specifies for how long we should try to acquire the lock.

This is in particular useful when restricting the number of concurrent jobs in CI.

redlock-cli's Issues

Sentinel support

Thank you for creating this great tool! I'd like to connect to a redis sentinel set of hosts instead of a single instance as documented here.
I think the best approach would be to either add another option which takes a list of sentinel hosts or use the existing -s option and modify it's syntax by allowing e.g. url style args as sentinel://[user:pw]@sentinelhost:5000,anotherhost:5000.

What do you think?
