NAME

MooseX::Daemonize::WithPidFile - A Role with the core daemonization and pidfile management

SYNOPSIS

  package My::Daemon;
  use Moose;

  with 'MooseX::Daemonize::WithPidFile';

  sub start {
      my $self = shift;
      # daemonize me ...
      $self->daemonize; # << this will write the pidfile for you
      # return from the parent,...
      return unless $self->is_daemon;
      # but continue on in the child (daemon)
  }

DESCRIPTION

This is a slightly extended basic daemonization Role, it provides Pidfile management along with the core daemonization features found in MooseX::Daemonize::Core.

ATTRIBUTES

pidfile (is = rw, isa => MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File)>

This attribute holds the MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File object used to manage the Pidfile. It will initialize the object using the init_pidfile method (which is required by this role).

REQUIRED METHODS

init_pidfile

This method is used to build the pidfile attribute's object. It should return a MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File object.

has_pidfile

This is a predicate method to tell you if your pidfile attribute has been initialized yet.

METHODS

daemonize

This adds an after method modifier to the daemonize method (from MooseX::Daemonize::Core) and handles writing your Pidfile for you.

meta

The meta() method from Class::MOP::Class

DEPENDENCIES

Moose::Role, MooseX::Getopt and MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
