Re: daemon ... oop'ified?

I was not able to reproduce the problem you report. Can you give more explicit instructions to do this?

The following from perlipc may be of interest to you:

For example, to trap an interrupt signal, set up a handler like this:

           sub catch_zap {
               my $signame = shift;
               $shucks++;
               die "Somebody sent me a SIG$signame";
           }
           $SIG{INT} = ’catch_zap’;  # could fail in modules
           $SIG{INT} = \&catch_zap;  # best strategy

In other words, you may want to change your handler definitions to something like:

$SIG{'INT'}  = \&sigint_catcher;

Can you elaborate on why you want to turn this into a class?

Sorry that I didn't think to include a debug mode before posting that... in order to see what I'm talking about, you need to tail/watch wherever you put local6 logs; or change the log facility from local6 to something else that you're already logging w/ your syslogger. > In other words, you may want to change your handler definitions to something like: >snip< Aha, I'll go and try that - thanks for reminding me about the perlipc perldoc! > Can you elaborate on why you want to turn this into a class? Well, it's part of a larger piece of software that I'm working on; an event processing engine - part of the functionality will be a master process that dynamically forks off other daemons... I thought having a real Class for this Daemonizer thing would be beneficial and cleaner and more powerful once I added some features. Thanks for your help!	[reply]

( I've obviously got some re-conditioning ahead, in order to get my perl groove back on! heheh ) As far as the OOP'ification goes -- I'll tweak around a little more so that I have some code that will show what I'm trying to get at; in order to help clarify my goals with this.
