NAME

Proc::Safetynet - POE-based utility for supervising processes

SYNOPSIS

    use Proc::Safetynet;
    use Proc::Safetynet::Program::Storage::TextFile;

    # load programs
    my $programs = Proc::Safetynet::Program::Storage::TextFile->new(
        file            => "/etc/my.programs",
    );
    $programs->reload;

    # start supervisor
    my $supervisor = Proc::Safetynet::Supervisor->spawn(
        binpath         => "/bin:/usr/bin",
        programs        => $programs,
    );

    POE::Kernel->run();

DESCRIPTION

Proc::Safetynet is a utility framework for building programs that supervises or "babysits" other processes. Supervision tasks can include process management (start / stop) and program provisioning (add / remove applications).

Proc::Safetynet is especially useful for monitoring and auto-restarting long-running server programs (e.g. FastCGI scripts).

SEE ALSO

See the accompanying bin/safetynetd.pl script as part of the Proc::Safetynet distribution for the actual supervisor daemon. The distribution also includes sample configuration files under etc.

Proc::Safetynet heavily borrows concepts and implementation details from the Supervisord project - http://supervisord.org
