The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Linux::ForkController
DSLIP: cdpOp
description: OO Parallel Process Management
userid: BLHOTSKY (Brad Lhotsky)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)
communities:
similar:
Parallel::ForkManager
rationale:
I plan on utilizing information contained in the /proc filesystem
to allow the module to mediate the child processes based on
constraints which may affect over all system performance. The goal
of the module is to have a smart parent process that can stop
forking processes when the machine comes under heavy load, either
from the children, or other external programs. Additionally, it
encapsulates the child program in a sub routine, making code look a
little cleaner, and slightly more maintainable. As of right now, the
code I have can only control the start of processes, eventually, I'd
like to extend the module to be able to control children currently
running, perhaps enabling the parent process to suspend or terminate
children based on the health of the system.
