<span style="color: red"><classname>ZendX_Console_Process_Unix</classname></span> allows developers to spawn |
|
|
an object as a new process, and so do multiple tasks in parallel on |
|
|
console environments. Through its specific nature, it is only |
|
|
working on *nix based systems like Linux, Solaris, Mac/OSx and such. |
|
|
Additionally, the <span style="color: red"><code>shmop_*</code></span>, <span style="color: red"><code>pcntl_*</code></span> and |
|
|
<span style="color: red"><code>posix_*</code></span> modules are required for this component to |
|
|
run. If one of the requirements is not met, it will throw an |
|
|
exception after instantiating the component. |

<span style="color: red"><classname>ZendX_Console_Process_Unix</classname></span> is an abstract class, which |
|
|
requires the user to extend it. It has a single abstract method |
|
|
called <span style="color: red"><methodname>_run()</methodname></span> which has to be implemented to create a |
|
|
working process. It also comes with multiple methods for checking |
|
|
the alive status and share variables between the parent and the |
|
|
child process. |
|
|
</para></span> |
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: red"><para> |
|
|
The <span style="color: red"><methodname>_run()</methodname></span> method and every method which is called |
|
|
by it is executed by the child process. Every other method which is |
|
|
called directly by the parent is executed by the parent process. |
|
|
</para></span> |
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: red"><para> |
|
|
<span style="color: red"><methodname>setVariable()</methodname></span> and <span style="color: red"><methodname>getVariable()</methodname></span> can be |
|
|
used from both the parent- and the child process to share variables. |
|
|
To observe the alive status, the child process should call |
|
|
<span style="color: red"><methodname>_setAlive()</methodname></span> in a frequent interval, so that the parent |
|
|
process can check the last alive time via <span style="color: red"><methodname>getLastAlive()</methodname></span>. |
|
|
To get the PID of the child process, the parent can call |
|
|
<span style="color: red"><methodname>getPid()</methodname></span>. |

In this example a process is forked twice and executed. As every |
|
|
process runs 10 seconds, the parent process will be finished after |
|
|
10 seconds (and not 20). |
