daemon_controller is a library for starting and stopping specific
|
||
|
|
daemons programmatically in a robust, race-condition-free manner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's not a daemon monitoring system like God or Monit. It's also not a
|
||
|
|
library for writing daemons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It provides the following functionality:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Starting daemons. If the daemon fails to start then an exception
|
||
|
|
will be raised. daemon_controller can even detect failures that
|
||
|
|
occur after the daemon has already daemonized.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Starting daemons is done in a race-condition-free manner. If another
|
||
|
|
process using daemon_controller is trying to start the same daemon,
|
||
|
|
then daemon_controller will guarantee serialization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
daemon_controller also raises an exception if it detects that the
|
||
|
|
daemon is already started.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Connecting to a daemon, starting it if it's not already started.
|
||
|
|
This too is done in a race-condition-free manner. If the daemon
|
||
|
|
fails to start then an exception will be raised.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stopping daemons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Checking whether a daemon is running.
