The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Proc::Reliable
DSLIP: RdpOp
description: Reliable subprocess management, many options
userid: DGOLD (Dan Goldwater)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)
communities:
similar:
Proc::Short
rationale:
The core functionality of Proc::Reliable is to execute subprocesses
with a timeout and configurable termination conditions, while
collecting all output produced by the subprocess. When writing
high-reliability software, it is essential to have this
functionality when running subprocesses in order to manage 'problem'
subprocesses which are likely to fail, hang or behave badly. <p>
Proc::Reliable implements a convenient and easy-to-use interface
which includes all the functionality of the backticks operator and
system() functions, plus many common uses of fork() and exec(),
open2() and open3(). Proc::Reliable incorporates a number of
options, including sending data to the subprocess on STDIN,
collecting STDOUT and STDERR separately or together, killing hung
processes, timouts and automatic retries. <p> Proc::Reliable module
is an enhancement and rewrite of the well-intentioned but not well
implemented Proc::Short. <p> Thanks! <p>
