This is a generic interface for placing processes in the background on both Unix and Win32 platforms. This module lets you start, kill, wait on, retrieve exit values, and see if background processes still exist....

This is a process management class designed specifically for Unix operating systems. It is not meant used except through the *Proc::Background* class. See Proc::Background for more information....

This is a job queue module for jobs that will be run in the background. "checkjobs()" needs to be called periodically to start new jobs. When all the jobs are queued, a call to "finish()" will block until all the jobs have completed. The "finish()" m...

The Proc::Simple package provides objects mimicing real-life processes from a user's point of view. A new process object is created by $myproc = Proc::Simple->new(); Either external programs or perl subroutines can be launched and controlled as proce...

This is a subclass of Proc::JobQueue::Job. In the background, sort the input files into the output. using the unix sort(1) command. The $opts parameter is not used but must be a hash reference. The $config parameter must be a hash reference and the f...

WARNING: This module (and its pod) is beta. The method that is used by this module is calling for race conditions all over the place... Since version 1.0 most of these should be found. But there will still be bugs. This module creates background proc...

The Proc::Short is intended to be an extension of the backticks operator in PERL which incorporates a number of options, including collecting STDOUT and STDERR separately -- plus timeout and automatic retries. A new process object is created by $mypr...

This module lets you parallelise a perl program using the "fork", "exit", "wait" and "waitpid" calls as usual but without taking care of creating too many processes and overloading the machine. It redefines perl "fork", "exit", "wait" and "waitpid" c...

Proc::Govern is a child process manager. It is meant to be a convenient bundle (a single parent/monitoring process) for functionalities commonly needed when managing a child process. It comes with a command-line interface, govproc. Background story: ...

Generic queue of "jobs". Most likely to be subclassed for different situations. Jobs are registered. Hosts are registered. Jobs may or may not be tied to particular hosts. Jobs are started on hosts. Jobs may or may not have dependencies on each other...

A new process object is created by $myproc = Proc::Reliable->new(); The default will run a subprocess only once with a 60-second timeout. Either shell-like command lines or references to perl subroutines can be specified for launching a process in ba...

This library is designed to fork one or more long-running background processes and to manage them. This includes starting, stopping, and automatically restarting processes--even those that don't behave well. The pid of the forked child processes are ...

This is a subclass of Proc::JobQueue::Job. In the background, run a command-line command....

Proc::DaemonLite is a basic server daemonisation module that trys to cater for most basic Perl daemon requirements. The POD for this module is incomplete, as is some of the tidying of the code. It is however fully functional. This is a pre-release in...

This is a subclass of Proc::JobQueue::Job. In the background, do a sequence of jobs. If a job fails, the jobs later in the sequence are cancelled....

This module eases process handling by providing high level functions to start, monitor and stop processes. All the functions die() on error. It also provides the $No::Worries::Proc::Transient variable that indicates, after a fork(), which process is ...

This is a subclass of Proc::JobQueue::Job. In the background, move a file to a new location (possibly on a new host). "scp" will be used to move files to remote locations. The trust relationships must already exist. Files will be compressed in transi...
