# Process::Daemon
`Process::Daemon` is a stable and helpful base class for long running tasks and daemons. Provides standard `start`, `stop`, `restart`, `status` operations.

## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'process-daemon'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install process-daemon
## Usage
A process daemon has a specific structure:
class MyDaemon < Process::Daemon
def startup
# Called when the daemon is initialized in it's own process. Should return quickly.
end
def run
# Do the actual work. Does not need to be implemented, e.g. if using threads or other background processing mechanisms which were kicked off in #startup.
end
def shutdown
# Stop everything that was setup in startup. Called as part of main daemon thread/process, not in trap context (e.g. SIGINT).
# Asynchronous code can call self.request_shutdown from a trap context to interrupt the main process, provided you aren't doing work in #run.
end
end
# Make this file executable and have a command line interface:
MyDaemon.daemonize
### Working directory
By default, daemons run in the current working directory. They setup paths according to the following logic:
working_directory = "."
log_directory = #{working_directory}/log
log_file_path = #{log_directory}/#{name}.log
runtime_directory = #{working_directory}/run
process_file_path = #{runtime_directory}/#{name}.pid
After calling `prefork`, the working directory is expanded to a full path and should not be changed.
### WEBRick Server
Some servers must run on the main process thread. In this case, the normal interrupt mechanism won't be used and we will handle signals directly.
Create a file for your daemon, e.g. `daemon.rb`:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'process/daemon'
# Very simple XMLRPC daemon
class XMLRPCDaemon < Process::Daemon
def startup
@rpc_server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(
:Port => 31337,
:BindAddress => "0.0.0.0"
)
@listener = XMLRPC::WEBrickServlet.new
@listener.add_handler("fourty-two") do |amount|
"Hello World"
end
@rpc_server.mount("/RPC2", @listener)
end
def run
# This is the correct way to cleanly shutdown the server:
trap(:INT) do
@rpc_server.shutdown
end
@rpc_server.start
ensure
@rpc_server.shutdown
end
end
XMLRPCDaemon.daemonize
Then run `daemon.rb start`. To stop the daemon, run `daemon.rb stop`.
### Celluloid Actor
`Process::Daemon` is the perfect place to spawn your [celluloid](https://celluloid.io) actors.
require 'celluloid'
require 'process/daemon'
class MyActor
include Celluloid::Actor
def long_running
sleep 1000
end
end
class MyDaemon < Process::Daemon
def startup
@actor = MyActor.new
@actor.async.long_running_process
end
def shutdown
@actor.terminate
end
end
MyDaemon.daemonize
