Summary : Launch and control background processes
|
Description :
The Proc::Simple package provides objects mimicing real-life processes from a user\'s point of view. A new process object is created by
$myproc = Proc::Simple->new();
Either external programs or perl subroutines can be launched and controlled as processes in the background.
A 10-second sleep process, for example, can be launched as an external program as in
$myproc->start(\"/bin/sleep 10\"); # or $myproc->start(\"/bin/sleep\", \"10\");
or as a perl subroutine, as in
sub mysleep { sleep(shift); } # Define mysleep() $myproc->start(\\&mysleep, 10); # Launch it.
or even as
$myproc->start(sub { sleep(10); });
The _start_ Method returns immediately after starting the specified process in background, i.e. there\'s no blocking. It returns _1_ if the process has been launched successfully and _0_ if not.
The _poll_ method checks if the process is still running
$running = $myproc->poll();
and returns _1_ if it is, _0_ if it\'s not. Finally,
$myproc->kill();
terminates the process by sending it the SIGTERM signal. As an option, another signal can be specified.
$myproc->kill(\"SIGUSR1\");
sends the SIGUSR1 signal to the running process. _kill_ returns _1_ if it succeeds in sending the signal, _0_ if it doesn\'t.
The methods are discussed in more detail in the next section.
A destructor is provided so that a signal can be sent to the forked processes automatically should the process object be destroyed or if the process exits. By default this behaviour is turned off (see the kill_on_destroy and signal_on_destroy methods).
