Re: Process management and control

Ruby

  1. Stop a process/script
  2. Monitor a process/script to see if it dies or is
    abnormally terminated

I was expecting something like:

my_script = Process.new("/tmp/script.sh")
my_script.start

Essentially is there a way to create an object which is a
system process as you might with Java?

Unfortunately, no. Process is a module, not a class. I think the
closest you can get is to use open3 and/or watch the process table using
something like sys-proctable (on the RAA).

I think it’s an idea worth considering, though.
