318 MooseX::Daemonize - Role for daemonizing your Moose based application
322 This document describes MooseX::Daemonize version 0.15
326 The maintainers of this module now recommend using L<Daemon::Control> instead.

360 Often you want to write a persistant daemon that has a pid file, and responds
361 appropriately to Signals. This module provides a set of basic roles as an
362 infrastructure to do that.
366 When going into background MooseX::Daemonize closes all open file
367 handles. This may interfere with you logging because it may also close the log
368 file handle you want to write to. To prevent this you can either defer opening
369 the log file until after start. Alternatively, use can use the
370 'dont_close_all_files' option either from the command line or in your .sh
373 Assuming you want to use Log::Log4perl for example you could expand the
374 MooseX::Daemonize example above like this.
378 return unless $self->is_daemon;
379 Log::Log4perl->init(\$log4perl_config);
380 my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger();
381 $logger->info("Daemon started");
382 # your daemon code here ...
388 This list includes attributes brought in from other roles as well
389 we include them here for ease of documentation. All of these attributes
390 are settable though L<MooseX::Getopt>'s command line handling, with the
391 exception of C<is_daemon>.
395 =item I<progname Path::Class::Dir | Str>
397 The name of our daemon, defaults to C<$package_name =~ s/::/_/>;
399 =item I<pidbase Path::Class::Dir | Str>
401 The base for our PID, defaults to C</var/run/>
403 =item I<basedir Path::Class::Dir | Str>
405 The directory we chdir to; defaults to C</>.
407 =item I<pidfile MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File | Str>
409 The file we store our PID in, defaults to C<$pidbase/$progname.pid>
411 =item I<foreground Bool>
413 If true, the process won't background. Useful for debugging. This option can
414 be set via Getopt's -f.
416 =item I<no_double_fork Bool>
418 If true, the process will not perform the typical double-fork, which is extra
419 added protection from your process accidentally aquiring a controlling terminal.
420 More information can be found by Googling "double fork daemonize".
422 =item I<ignore_zombies Bool>
424 If true, the process will not clean up zombie processes.
425 Normally you don't want this.
427 =item I<dont_close_all_files Bool>
429 If true, the objects open filehandles will not be closed when daemonized.
430 Normally you don't want this.
433 =item I<is_daemon Bool>
435 If true, the process is the backgrounded daemon process, if false it is the
436 parent process. This is useful for example in an C<after 'start' => sub { }>
439 B<NOTE:> This option is explicitly B<not> available through L<MooseX::Getopt>.
441 =item I<stop_timeout>
443 Number of seconds to wait for the process to stop, before trying harder to kill
444 it. Defaults to 2 seconds.
448 These are the internal attributes, which are not available through MooseX::Getopt.
452 =item I<exit_code Int>
454 =item I<status_message Str>
460 =head2 Daemon Control Methods
462 These methods can be used to control the daemon behavior. Every effort
463 has been made to have these methods DWIM (Do What I Mean), so that you
464 can focus on just writing the code for your daemon.
466 Extending these methods is best done with the L<Moose> method modifiers,
467 such as C<before>, C<after> and C<around>.
473 Setup a pidfile, fork, then setup the signal handlers.
477 Stop the process matching the pidfile, and unlinks the pidfile.
493 =head2 Pidfile Handling Methods
497 =item B<init_pidfile>
499 This method will create a L<MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File> object and tell
500 it to store the PID in the file C<$pidbase/$progname.pid>.
504 This checks to see if the daemon process is currently running by checking
509 Returns the PID of the daemon process.
521 =head2 Signal Handling Methods
525 =item B<setup_signals>
527 Setup the signal handlers, by default it only sets up handlers for SIGINT and
528 SIGHUP. If you wish to add more signals just use the C<after> method modifier
531 =item B<handle_sigint>
533 Handle a INT signal, by default calls C<$self->stop()>
535 =item B<handle_sighup>
537 Handle a HUP signal. By default calls C<$self->restart()>
541 =head2 Exit Code Methods
543 These are overriable constant methods used for setting the exit code.
563 The C<meta()> method from L<Class::MOP::Class>
569 L<Moose>, L<MooseX::Getopt>, L<MooseX::Types::Path::Class> and L<POSIX>
571 =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
573 None reported. Although obviously this will not work on Windows.
575 =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
