Build

• install rust
• cargo build

Test

Tested with Ruby to have readable / expressive tests.

• Build
• gem install bundler ... needs ruby installed
• bundle
• bundle exec rake

Release

• bundle exec rake bump:patch
• cargo build --release
• take target/release/preoomkiller binary

TODO

• travis
• kill child when process is killed (already has a failing test)
• find safe way of doing wait / kill ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35093869
• make rake bump release for multiple targets and commit all changes
• add --signal option ... support numbers and ideally USR1 etc words
• make percent a float
• add --restart option to not kill but restart ... maybe don't since this is tricky / needs a limit
