My Koha::Daemon is just a module for making a daemon process; it's similar to Proc::Daemon on CPAN. But yeah I could see my Koha::OAI::Harvester::Listener and Koha::OAI::Harvester not working for all background jobs. They work well in my case but I'd be happy to actually replace (elements of) them with a more general Koha solution, if it worked for my use case too. Yeah I think that different daemons for different needs makes sense too. Like in the case of #10662, I originally wrote a generic job server, but then realized it might not suit everyone, so I re-wrote it just for that specific task of harvesting OAI-PMH records. Yeah, I don't think forking makes sense in a Plack/persistent environment. Actually, I don't think it makes sense in the CGI environment either, but it "worked". Setting up separate daemons is easy. I don't know why we don't just do that. The issue then I suppose is security, as you've said, and deciding on communication protocols. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
