Perl process management

Perl you can in different ways to create a process.

This tutorial will discuss the management of some processes.

  • You can use the special variable$$ or $ PROCESS_IDto get the process ID.

  • % ENV hash holds the parent process, which is the shell environment variables in Perl can modify these variables.

  • exit () is usually used to exit a child process, the child process exits the main process exits after all.

  • All open handles are dup in the subroutine () function to copy all close all handles processes will not affect other processes.


Backtick operator

Using the backquote operator can easily execute Unix commands. You can insert some simple commands in the anti-quotes. Command execution will return results:

#!/usr/bin/perl

@files = `ls -l`;

foreach $file (@files){
   print $file;
}

1;

The above program, the output results are as follows:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 14 06:46 9-14
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 13 07:54 android
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  574 Sep 17 15:16 index.htm
drwxr-xr-x 3  544  401 4096 Jul  6 16:49 MIME-Lite-3.01
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   71 Sep 17 15:16 test.pl
……

system () function

You can also use thesystem () function executes the Unix command, the command is executed directly output.By default, the current will be sent to Perl's STDOUT point where, typically screen. You can also use the redirection operator> output to the specified file:

The above program, the output results are as follows:

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 14 06:46 9-14
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 13 07:54 android
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  574 Sep 17 15:16 index.htm
drwxr-xr-x 3  544  401 4096 Jul  6 16:49 MIME-Lite-3.01
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   71 Sep 17 15:16 test.pl
……

Note that the command you need to include environment variables such as output or $ HOME $ PATH, as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$PATH = "我是 Perl 的变量";

system('echo $PATH');  # $PATH 作为 shell 环境变量
system("echo $PATH");  # $PATH 作为 Perl 的变量
system("echo \$PATH"); # 转义 $

1;

The above program, the output results are as follows:

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
我是 Perl 的变量
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

fork () function

Perl fork () function is used to create a new process.

Returns the child in the parent process PID, in the child process returns 0. If an error (for example, out of memory) occurred returns undef, and $! Is set to the corresponding error message.

It can be used in conjunction with fork and exec. exec function execution process that is completed after the end of command within quotation marks.

#!/usr/bin/perl

if(!defined($pid = fork())) {
   # fork 发生错误返回 undef
   die "无法创建子进程: $!";
}elsif ($pid == 0) {
   print "通过子进程输出\n";
   exec("date") || die "无法输出日期: $!";
  
} else {
   # 在父进程中
   print "通过父进程输出\n";
   $ret = waitpid($pid, 0);
   print "完成的进程ID: $ret\n";

}

1;

The above program, the output results are as follows:

通过父进程输出
通过子进程输出

完成的进程ID: 47117

If the process exits, it sends a signal to the parent process after CHLD, it will become a dead process that requires a parent process wait and waitpid terminated. Of course, you can also set $ SIG {CHLD} to IGNORG:

#!/usr/bin/perl

local $SIG{CHLD} = "IGNORE";
 
if(!defined($pid = fork())) {
   # fork 发生错误返回 undef
   die "无法创建子进程: $!";
}elsif ($pid == 0) {
   print "通过子进程输出\n";
   exec("date") || die "无法输出日期: $!";
  
} else {
   # 在父进程中
   print "通过父进程输出\n";
   $ret = waitpid($pid, 0);
   print "完成的进程ID: $ret\n";

}

1;

The above program, the output results are as follows:

通过父进程输出
通过子进程输出
2016年 6月19日 星期日 22时30分56秒 CST
完成的进程ID: -1

Kill function

Perl kill ( 'signal', ( Process List)) sends a signal to a group of processes.signal is a digital signal sent 9 to kill the process.

First look at linux commonly used signal, see the list below:

The following example processes 104 and 102 to send SIGINT signal:

#!/usr/bin/perl

kill('INT', 104, 102);
 
1;
