Hi folks, I just wanted to register a new module via
https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=apply_mod but my IE5.5 wouldn't let me submit the page. Pressing the 'submit' button did nothing. A cursory glance at the HTML source showed that the <form> entry is intertwined with the <table><td> etc. entries, so this might be the problem (apart from using IE in the first place; >:-( you sometimes simply have to Deal with the Devil). Anyway, here is the module that I'd like to register: Proc::Nanny - supervise server/daemon processes Module List Chapter 4) "Operating System Interfaces" Flags: adpO Standard Perl License Rationale: ========== It is very advisable to supervise long-running server processes (daemons) to be able to restart them when they crash or to restart them periodically on purpose to avoid troubles caused by memory leaks et al. This is normally faciliated by forking off the real server process and have the parent act as a baby-sitter, basically wait()ing for the child and re-forking it when the server process exits. This module intends to make this task easy by providing the most common functionality through a simple and clear interface. Example (from SYNOPSIS): use Proc::Nanny; # initialize server process... # simple usage: just babysit a single server process Proc::Nanny->start_babysitting(); # child returns to act as a server from here on... # more complex usage: fork off two servers, restart them after 10 minutes # if they haven't exited in the meantime by sending them SIGHUP and # log all activity in /var/log/myservers.log my $nanny = new Proc::Nanny (watchdog_timeout => 600, watchdog_signal => "SIGHUP", nr_of_children => 2, logfile => "/var/log/myservers.log", ); $nanny->start_babysitting(); # child processes continue... if ($nanny->who_am_i == 0) { # first child does this... do_work(); } else { # the other one that... exec(@command); } Thanks!
