superdaemon for hot-deploying server programs

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

It is often a pain to write a server program that supports graceful restarts, with no resource leaks. Server::Starter, solves the problem by splitting the task into two. One is start_server, a script provided as a part of the module, which works as a superdaemon that binds to zero or more TCP ports, and repeatedly spawns the server program that actually handles the necessary tasks (for example, responding to incoming commenctions). The spawned server programs under Server::Starter call accept(2) and handle the requests.
