Struct DaemonManager 

pub struct DaemonManager { /* private fields */ }

Manage daemons.

A daemon is a process running in the background, doing useful things. For Obnam benchmarks, it’s the Obnam server, but this is a generic manager. This version requires the daemonize helper program to be available on $PATH.

Implementations

impl DaemonManager

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new manager instance, with default settings.

pub fn timeout(self, millis: u64) -> Self

Set the timeout for waiting on a daemon to start, in milliseconds.

pub fn start( &self, argv: &[&OsStr], stdout: &Path, stderr: &Path, ) -> Result<Daemon, DaemonError>

Start a daemon.

The daemon is considered started if its process id (PID) is known. The daemon may take longer to actually be in a useful state, and it may fail after the PID is known, for example if it reads a configuration file and that has errors. This function won’t wait for that to happen: it only cares about the PID.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for DaemonManager

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
