10 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
11 # Code fork
13 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(sub { print "Hello\n" });
14 $process->start();
15 print "Running\n" if $process->is_running();
16 $process->getline(); # Will return "Hello\n"
17 $process->pid(); # Process id
18 $process->stop();
19 $process->wait_stop(); # if you intend to wait its lifespan
20 # Methods can be chained, thus this is valid:
22 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
23 my $output = process( sub { print "Hello\n" } )->start()->wait_stop->getline;
24 # Handles seamelessy also external processes:
26 my $process = process(execute=> '/path/to/bin' )->args(qw(foo bar baz));
27 $process->start();
28 my $line_output = $process->getline();
29 my $pid = $process->pid();
30 $process->stop();
31 my @errors = $process->error;
32 # Get process return value
34 $process = process( sub { return "256"; } )->start()->wait_stop;
35 # We need to stop it to retrieve the exit status
36 my $return = $process->return_status;
37 # We can access directly to handlers from the object:
39 my $stdout = $process->read_stream;
40 my $stdin = $process->write_stream;
41 my $stderr = $process->error_stream;
42 # So this works:
44 print $stdin "foo bar\n";
45 my @lines = <$stdout>;
46 # There is also an alternative channel of communication (just for forked processes):
48 my $channel_in = $process->channel_in; # write to the child process
49 my $channel_out = $process->channel_out; # read from the child process
50 $process->channel_write("PING"); # convenience function
51
53 Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess is yet another process manager.
54
56 Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess inherits all events from
57 Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones.
58 start
60 $process->on(start => sub {
61 my ($process) = @_;
62 $process->is_running();
63 });
64 Emitted when the process starts.
66 stop
68 $process->on(stop => sub {
69 my ($process) = @_;
70 $process->restart();
71 });
72 Emitted when the process stops.
74 process_error
76 $process->on(process_error => sub {
77 my ($e) = @_;
78 my @errors = @{$e};
79 });
80 Emitted when the process produce errors.
82 process_stuck
84 $process->on(process_stuck => sub {
85 my ($self) = @_;
86 ...
87 });
88 Emitted when "blocking_stop" is set and all attempts for killing the
90 process in "max_kill_attempts" have been exhausted. The event is
91 emitted before attempting to kill it with SIGKILL and becoming
92 blocking.
93 SIG_CHLD
95 $process->on(SIG_CHLD => sub {
96 my ($self) = @_;
97 ...
98 });
99 Emitted when we receive SIG_CHLD.
101 SIG_TERM
103 $process->on(SIG_TERM => sub {
104 my ($self) = @_;
105 ...
106 });
107 Emitted when the child forked process receives SIG_TERM, before
109 exiting.
110 collected
112 $process->on(collected => sub {
113 my ($self) = @_;
114 ...
115 });
116 Emitted right after status collection.
118 collect_status
120 $process->on(collect_status => sub {
121 my ($self) = @_;
122 ...
123 });
124 Emitted when on child process waitpid. It is used internally to get
126 the child process status. Note: events attached to it are wiped when
127 process has been stopped.
128
130 Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess inherits all attributes from
131 Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.
132 execute
134 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
135 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(execute => "/usr/bin/perl");
136 $process->start();
137 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
138 $process->stop();
139 "execute" should contain the external program that you wish to run.
141 code
143 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
144 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { print "Hello" } );
145 $process->start();
146 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
147 $process->stop();
148 It represent the code you want to run in background.
150 You do not need to specify "code", it is implied if no arguments is
152 given.
153 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(sub { print "Hello" });
155 $process->start();
156 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
157 $process->stop();
158 args
160 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
161 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { print "Hello ".$_[1] }, args => "User" );
162 $process->start();
163 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
164 $process->stop();
165 # The process will print "Hello User"
167 Array or arrayref of options to pass by to the external binary or the
169 code block.
170 blocking_stop
172 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
173 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { print "Hello" }, blocking_stop => 1 );
174 $process->start();
175 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
176 $process->stop(); # Will wait indefinitely until the process is stopped
177 Set it to 1 if you want to do blocking stop of the process.
179 channels
181 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
182 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { print "Hello" }, channels => 0 );
183 $process->start();
184 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
185 $process->stop(); # Will wait indefinitely until the process is stopped
186 Set it to 0 if you want to disable internal channels.
188 session
190 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
191 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(sub { print "Hello" });
192 my $session = $process->session;
193 $session->enable_subreaper;
194 Returns the current Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess::Session singleton.
196 subreaper
198 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
199 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { print "Hello ".$_[1] }, args => "User" );
200 $process->subreaper(1)->start();
201 $process->on( stop => sub { shift()->disable_subreaper } );
202 $process->stop();
203 # The process will print "Hello User"
205 Mark the current process (not the child) as subreaper on start. It's
207 on invoker behalf to disable subreaper when process stops, as it marks
208 the current process and not the child.
209 ioloop
211 my $loop = $process->ioloop;
212 $subprocess = $process->ioloop(Mojo::IOLoop->new);
213 Event loop object to control, defaults to the global Mojo::IOLoop
215 singleton.
216 max_kill_attempts
218 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
219 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { print "Hello" }, max_kill_attempts => 50 );
220 $process->start();
221 $process->on( stop => sub { print "Process: ".(+shift()->pid)." finished"; } );
222 $process->stop(); # It will attempt to send SIGTERM 50 times.
223 Defaults to 5, is the number of attempts before bailing out.
225 It can be used with blocking_stop, so if the number of attempts are
227 exhausted, a SIGKILL and waitpid will be tried at the end.
228 kill_whole_group
230 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess;
231 my $process = Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess->new(code => sub { setpgrp(0, 0); exec(...); }, kill_whole_group => 1 );
232 $process->start();
233 $process->send_signal(...); # Will skip the usual check whether $process->pid is running
234 $process->stop(); # Kills the entire process group and waits for all processes in the group to finish
235 Defaults to 0, whether to send signals (e.g. to stop) to the entire
237 process group.
238 This is useful when the sub process creates further sub processes and
240 creates a new process group as shown in the example. In this case it
241 might be useful to take care of the entire process group when stopping
242 and wait for every process in the group to finish.
243 collect_status
245 Defaults to 1, If enabled it will automatically collect the status of
246 the children process. Disable it in case you want to manage your
247 process child directly, and do not want to rely on automatic collect
248 status. If you won't overwrite your "SIGCHLD" handler, the "SIG_CHLD"
249 event will be still emitted.
250 serialize
252 Defaults to 0, If enabled data returned from forked process will be
253 serialized with Storable.
254 kill_sleeptime
256 Defaults to 1, it's the seconds to wait before attempting SIGKILL when
257 blocking_stop is setted to 1.
258 separate_err
260 Defaults to 1, it will create a separate channel to intercept process
261 STDERR, otherwise it will be redirected to STDOUT.
262 verbose
264 Defaults to 1, it indicates message verbosity.
265 set_pipes
267 Defaults to 1, If enabled, additional pipes for process communication
268 are automatically set up.
269 internal_pipes
271 Defaults to 1, If enabled, additional pipes for retreiving process
272 return and errors are set up. Note: If you disable that, the only
273 information provided by the process will be the exit_status.
274 autoflush
276 Defaults to 1, If enabled autoflush of handlers is enabled
277 automatically.
278 error
280 Returns a Mojo::Collection of errors. Note: errors that can be
281 captured only at the end of the process
282
284 Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess inherits all methods from
285 Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.
286 start()

291 } )->start;
292 Starts the process
294 stop()
296 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
297 my $p = process( execute => "/path/to/bin" )->start->stop;
298 Stop the process. Unless you use "wait_stop()", it will attempt to kill
300 the process without waiting the process to finish. By defaults it send
301 "SIGTERM" to the child. You can change that by defining the internal
302 attribute "_default_kill_signal". Note, if you want to be *sure* that
303 the process gets killed, you can enable the "blocking_stop" attribute,
304 that will attempt to send "SIGKILL" after "max_kill_attempts" is
305 reached.
306 restart()
308 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
309 my $p = process( execute => "/path/to/bin" )->restart;

324 $p->wait_stop->exit_status;
326 Inspect the process exit status, it does the shifting magic, to access
328 to the real value call "_status()".
329 return_status()
331 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
332 my $p = process( sub { return 42 } )->start;

339 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
340 my $p = process()->enable_subreaper;

359 my $manager
360 = process(sub { sleep 2 })->subreaper(1)->start();
361 sleep 1 for (0 .. 10);

363 return $manager->session->all->size;
364 });
365 $master_p->subreaper(1);
367 $master_p->on(collected => sub { $status++ });
369 # On start we setup the current process as subreaper
371 # So it's up on us to disable it after process is done.
372 $master_p->on(stop => sub { shift()->disable_subreaper });
373 $master_p->start();
374 disable_subreaper()
376 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);

409 $stream->on(read => sub { $output .= pop; $p->is_running ... });
410 Mojo::IOLoop->singleton->start() unless Mojo::IOLoop->singleton->is_running;
412 Returns a Mojo::IOLoop::Stream object and demand the wait operation to
414 Mojo::IOLoop. It needs "set_pipes" enabled. Default IOLoop can be
415 overridden in "ioloop()".
416 wait()
418 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
419 my $p = process(sub { print "Hello\n" })->wait;
420 # ... here now you can mangle $p handlers and such
421 Waits until the process finishes, but does not performs cleanup
423 operations (until stop is called).
424 wait_stop()
426 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
427 my $p = process(sub { print "Hello\n" })->start->wait_stop;
428 # $p is not running anymore, and all possible events have been granted to be emitted.

445 Forces writing PID of process to specified pidfile in the attributes of
447 the object. Useful only if the process have been already started,
448 otherwise if a pidfile it's supplied as attribute, it will be done
449 automatically.
450 write_stdin()
452 use Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess qw(process);
453 my $p = process(sub { my $a = <STDIN>; print STDERR "Hello my name is $a\n"; } )->start;
454 $p->write_stdin("Larry");

602 You can set the MOJO_EVENTEMITTER_DEBUG environment variable to get
603 some advanced diagnostics information printed to STDERR.
604 MOJO_EVENTEMITTER_DEBUG=1
606 Also, you can set MOJO_PROCESS_DEBUG environment variable to get
608 diagnostics about the process execution.
