NAME

Module::Build::Service::Fork - Role for process handling in service implementations

VERSION

version 0.91

SYNOPSIS

package Module::Build::Service::foo;

use Moo;
extends 'Module::Build::Service::Base';
with 'Module::Build::Service::Fork';

sub _build_command {
  my ($self) = @_;
  [$self->bin, qw{-f flag1 -g flag2 -h}];
}
sub _build_log { ',,foo.log' }
sub _build_executable { 'foo' }

DESCRIPTION

This is a role that tries to factor out a lot of boilerplate in defining services that involve forking an executable to run the service.

ATTRIBUTES

bin

The full path to the binary executable for starting the service.

If this is not specified, we search for executable in path.

command

The command-line for the executable. Each class including the role must define it, as there is no sensible default.

executable

The bare name of the executable that is run to start the service. Defaults to service_name.

If you specify bin directly (either in a parameter to new, or by overriding _build_bin), you don't actually need to specify this unless you use it yourself, as it is only used when trying to generate bin automatically.

path

The list of directories in which we should search for the executable. The default is /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin.

If you specify bin directly (either in a parameter to new, or by overriding _build_bin), you don't actually need to specify this unless you use it yourself, as it is only used when trying to generate bin automatically.

METHODS

start_service

A default implementation of start_service that starts the contents of command.

stop_service

A default implementation of stop_service that just terminates the child process. Generally adequate. It can be overridden or modified as appropriate.
