# The devel/ruby-daemon_controller port

## ruby-daemon_controller-0.2.6 – robust daemon management

## Description

    daemon_controller is a library for starting and stopping specific
    daemons programmatically in a robust, race-condition-free manner.

    It's not a daemon monitoring system like God or Monit. It's also not a
    library for writing daemons.

    It provides the following functionality:

        Starting daemons. If the daemon fails to start then an exception
        will be raised. daemon_controller can even detect failures that
        occur after the daemon has already daemonized.

        Starting daemons is done in a race-condition-free manner. If another
        process using daemon_controller is trying to start the same daemon,
        then daemon_controller will guarantee serialization.

        daemon_controller also raises an exception if it detects that the
        daemon is already started.

        Connecting to a daemon, starting it if it's not already started.
        This too is done in a race-condition-free manner. If the daemon
        fails to start then an exception will be raised.

        Stopping daemons.

        Checking whether a daemon is running.
