I use this: http://pear.php.net/package/System_Daemon
and it's worked flawlessly for the past 2 years. ~Rolan On 4/7/2011 5:38 PM, Gary Mort wrote:
Just wondering what, in general, others are using for writing daemons in PHP. Just code it directly using libevent... or using a framework such as phpdaemon, https://github.com/kakserpom/phpdaemon For a first pass, I need to set up a more intelligent CPULimit app to meet my specific goals. Since all CPULimit basically does is check all the PID's every 2ms and send out kill to processes with SIGSTOP and SIGCONT - it seems simple to do the same with PHP. Just loop through every 2 ms and when cpu usage is over the threshold, do some quick calcs to determine how many microseconds before the processes can be continued in order to drop the cpu usage below the threshold and use libevent to set the callback time. Granted, this is supposedly "better" to program in C rather than PHP, but since I want to be able to do quick changes and keep the learning curve small, I'd rather do it in PHP until everything has been tweaked and perfected. Then it's always an option to try using HipHop to convert it.... or if it is running well and doing what is needed, leave it be. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation
