SymfonyPIDManager

Description

This bundle is intended to prevent running a command twice at the same time.

When you spool your mails for an example with an cronjob and have a huge amount of mails, it could otherwise happen that the old instance is still sending emails while starting the command a second time.

###Function The functionality is kept simple. Before executing a command this PIDManager writes the current pid (process id) into a configured file(pid_path). Before running a second time it will check this file and return if the process is still running.

###Warning This Bundle currently only works on Linux, because it detects running processes over the procfs (/proc/$pid).

Usage

###With Symfony2

AppKernel.php add the following lines

new TuxCoder\PIDManagerBundle\PIDManagerBundle(),

config.yml add the following lines

pid_manager:
  commands:
    - name: swiftmailer:spool:send
      pid_path: /run/user/symfony/mail_spool.pid
    - name: secoundCommandName
      pid_path: /path/to/otherPidFile.pid

###Without Symfony2 $pidManager=new \TuxCoder\PIDManagerBundle\PIDManager(); $pidManager->setPidPath('/path/to/pid/file'); if(!$pidManager->isRunning()) { $pidManager->setRunning();

  //do some cool stuff

  $pidManager->setNotRunning();
} else {
  //error program is running
}

TODO

• Write some Tests
• Add an event handler for "AllreadyRunningException".
• If requested also make it runnable on Windows, Mac, BSD....
