+# mqtt-launcher
+
+_mqtt-launcher_ is a Python program which subscribes to a set of [MQTT] topics and executes processes on the host it's running on. Processes are configured on a per/wildcard basis.
+
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Python
+* [mosquitto.py](http://mosquitto.org/documentation/python/)
+
+## Credits
+
+This program was inspired by [mqtt-exec](https://github.com/denschu/mqtt-exec). I'm not terribly comfortable running NodeJS programs, so I implemented the idea in Python.
