This is the Proc::Background package. It provides a generic interface
|
|
to running background processes. Through this interface, users can
|
|
run background processes on different operating systems without
|
|
concerning themselves about the specifics of doing this. Users of
|
|
this package create new Proc::Background objects that provide an
|
|
object oriented interface to process management. The following
|
|
methods are provided to users of the Proc::Background package:
|
|
|
|
new: start a new background process.
|
|
alive: test to see if the process is still alive.
|
|
die: reliably try to kill the process.
|
|
wait: wait for the process to exit and return the exit status.
|
|
start_time: return the time that the process started.
|
|
end_time: return the time when the exit status was retrieved.
