NAME

Beekeeper::WorkerPool::Daemon - Daemonize processes

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

  package MyDaemon;
  use base 'Beekeeper::WorkerPool::Daemon';
  
  sub main {
      my $self = shift;
      my $quit = 0;
  
      $SIG{'TERM'} = sub { $quit = 1 };
      $SIG{'INT'}  = sub { $quit = 1 };
  
      while (!$quit) {
          # Do something here...
          sleep 1;
      }
  }

Then, the daemon can be executed with a script like this:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -wT
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use MyDaemon;
  
  $ENV{PATH} = '/bin'; # untaint
  
  my $daemon = MyDaemon->new->run;

DESCRIPTION

This is a base module for creating daemons. It takes care of daemonization tasks commonly found in init.d scripts: forking, redirecting output, writing pid files, start/stop/restart control commands, etc.

It is used by the command line tool bkpr to daemonize itself.
