NAME

JIP::Daemon - Daemonize server process.

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

Just run:

use JIP::Daemon;

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new;

# Send program to backgroung.
$proc = $proc->daemonize;

# In the backgroung process:
$proc->is_detached; # 1
$proc->try_kill(0); # 1
printf qq{pid(%s), is_alive(%d), is_detached(%d)\n}, $proc->status;

# If the program is already a running background job, the daemonize method shall have no effect.
$proc = $proc->daemonize;

Dry run:

use JIP::Daemon;

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(dry_run => 1);

$proc->daemonize;

# In the same process
$proc->is_detached; # 0

With logger:

use Mojo::Log;
use JIP::Daemon;

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(logger => Mojo::Log->new);

$proc->daemonize;

With on_fork_callback:

use JIP::Daemon;

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(
    on_fork_callback => sub {
        # After daemonizing, and before exiting,
        # run the given code in parent process
        print $proc->pid;
    },
)->daemonize;

ATTRIBUTES

JIP::Daemon implements the following attributes.

pid

my $pid = $proc->pid;

is_detached

my $is_detached => $proc->is_detached;

Process is detached from the controlling terminal.

dry_run

my $dry_run = $proc->dry_run;

Perform a trial run with no changes made (foreground if dry_run).

uid

my $uid = $proc->uid;

The real user identifier and the effective user identifier for this process.

gid

my $gid = $proc->gid;

The real group identifier and the effective group identifier for this process.

cwd

my $cwd = $proc->cwd;

Change the current working directory.

umask

my $umask = $proc->umask;

Most Daemon processes runs as super-user, for security reasons they should protect files that they create. Setting user mask will prevent unsecure file priviliges that may occur on file creation.

logger

JIP::Daemon->new(logger => Mojo::Log->new)->logger->info('Hello');

Simple logger, based on Mojo::Log interface.

log_callback

With default callback:

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(logger => Mojo::Log->new);

# $proc->logger->info('Hello');
$proc->log_callback->($proc, 'Hello');

# $proc->logger->info(sprintf 'format %s', 'line');
$proc->log_callback->($proc, 'format %s', 'line');

With custom callback:

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(
    logger       => Mojo::Log->new,
    log_callback => sub {
        my ($proc, @lines) = @_;
        $proc->logger->debug(@lines);
    },
);
$proc->log_callback->($proc, 'Hello');

on_fork_callback

After daemonizing, and before exiting, run the given code in parent process.

METHODS

new

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new;
my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(dry_run => 1);

Construct a new JIP::Daemon object.

daemonize

$proc = $proc->daemonize;

Daemonize server process.

reopen_std

$proc = $proc->reopen_std;

Reopen STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR to /dev/null.

drop_privileges

my $proc = JIP::Daemon->new(uid => 1000, gid => 1000, umask => 0, cwd => q{/});
$proc = $proc->drop_privileges;

Change uid/gid/umask/cwd on demand.

try_kill

my $is_alive = $proc->try_kill(0);

This is identical to Perl's builtin kill() function for sending signals to processes (often to terminate them).

status

my ($pid, $is_alive, $is_detached) = $proc->status;

Returns a list of process attributes: PID, is alive, is detached (in backgroung).
