NAME
pidstatd - Determine if process ID is running for Perl IPC::Locker
SYNOPSIS
pidstatd [ --help ] [ --port=port ] [ --version ]
DESCRIPTION
Pidstatd will start a UDP daemon. The daemon responds to requests that contain a PID with a packet indicating the PID and if the PID currently exists.
The Perl IPC::Locker package optionally uses this daemon to break locks for PIDs that no longer exists.
ARGUMENTS
- --help
-
Displays this message and program version and exits.
- --nofork
-
For debugging, prevents the daemon from creating additional processes and from going into the background. This allows messages to appear on stdout, and ctrl-C to stop the daemon.
- --port
-
Specifies the port number to be used.
- --version
-
Displays program version and exits.
