Daemon-Device | module provides a straight-forward and simple construct

Daemon-Device is a Perl library. Daemon-Device has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This module provides a straight-forward and simple construct to creating applications that run as daemons and fork some number of child processes. This module leverages the excellent Daemon::Control to provide the functionality for the daemon itself, and it manages the spawning and monitoring of the children. It also provides some hooks into various parts of the daemon's lifecycle. The basic idea is that you'll end up with program that can be interacted with like a Linux service (i.e. in /etc/init.d or similar). On start, it will initiate a single parent process and a number of children processes. See Daemon::Control for additional information about the core part of the daemon. What Daemon::Device does beyond this is setup parent and child creation, monitor and replace children that die off, and offer hooks.
