This module associates a PID file with your script for the purpose
|
|
of keeping more than one copy from running (concurrency prevention).
|
|
It creates the PID file, checks for its existence when the script
|
|
is run, terminates the script if there is already an instance running,
|
|
and removes the PID file when the script finishes.
|
|
|
|
This module's objective is to provide a completely simplified
|
|
interface that makes adding PID-file-based concurrency prevention
|
|
to your script as quick and simple as possible; hence File::Pid::Quick.
|
|
For a more nuanced implementation of PID files, please see File::Pid.
