VERSION

Version 1.01

SYNOPSIS

  use File::Pid;

  my $lock = new App::DistSync::Lock(
          file => '/some/file.lock',
          hold => 3600,
          pid  => $$,
      );

  if ( my $pid = $lock->running ) {
      die "Already running: $num\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module manages a lock file. It will create a lock file, query the process within to discover if it's still running, and remove the lock file. This module based on File::Pid and LockFile::Simple.

new

    my $lock = new App::DistSync::Lock;

    my $lock = new App::DistSync::Lock(
          file => '/var/run/daemon.pid',
          hold => 3600,
          pid  => $$,
      );

This constructor takes three optional paramters.

file - The name of the lock file to work on. If not specified, a lock file located in current directory will be created that matches MANIFEST.LOCK.

hold - Max amount of seconds before breaking lock (0 for never, default is 3600)

pid - The pid to write to a new lockfile. If not specified, $$ is used when the lock file doesn't exist. When the lock file does exist, the pid inside it is used.

running

    my $pid = $lock->running;
    die "Service already running: $pid\n" if $pid;

Checks to see if the pricess identified in the lock file is still running. If the process is still running, the pid is returned. Otherwise undef or 0 is returned.

status

    my $status = $lock->status;

Returns current status

error

    my $error = $lock->error;

Returns current error message
