ped daemon Description

ped is a process execution daemon, comparable to cron in its basic functionality. ped is a process execution daemon, comparable to cron in its basic functionality. ped daemon monitors a given directory.If a user or an application drops a file into this directory, ped parses the content and executes a given command.The syntax of these files describes the functionality: " start|restart|loop (command) ".ped was primary written to schedule time-consuming tasks initiated by a Web application.< u >Following keywords are valid for config/start-files:< /u >from < unixtimestamp > Defines the start of validity of this file. Optional. If this keyword is missing, start time is not checked. until < unixtimestamp > Defines the end of validity of this file. Optional. If this keyword is missing, end time is not checked. If the < unixtimestamp > of "until" is less than a given < unixtimestamp > of "from", the whole file is valid, but no action will take place.asuser < username > < username > is the name of a systemuser (do NOT use an UID here). Optional. If this keyword is missing, the given user not valid or has no rights to access a valid shell, the process will start as the same user, ped runs under (in most cases: root).start < command > < options > Starts < command > once in between the duration of validity. If there is no "from" statement, starting time is seconds after the file has been dropped in. After attempting to start < command > the config/start-file is deleted; nevertheless if < command > is executable or not.restart < command > < options > Restarts < command > in between the duration of validity (with the built-in delay). If the formerly started process didn't exit, it will be killed, and a new process will spawn. After the end of validity, this config/start-file is deleted.loop < command > < options > Like "restart", "loop" tries to execute < command > every (built-in delay) seconds. If the formerly started process didn't exit, no action will take place, unless the formerly started process stops; if this happens, a new instance of < command > is started. After the end of validity, this config/start-file is deleted.What's New in This Release:· This release features better support for GNU autotools.· Static definitions have been moved to configurable options.· Man pages and an init script example have been added.· A memory allocation bug was fixed.
