守护进程是在一类脱离终端在后台执行的程序, 通常以d
结尾, 随系统启动, 其父进程(ppid)通常是init
进程
一般要让当前程序以守护进程形式运行, 在命令后加&
并重定向输出即可
$ python someprogram.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &
或者使用nohup
也可以
这是直接运行程序的方式, 如果是用具体语言代码的形式来实现呢, 首先看一下守护进程的实现方式
创建子进程, 父进程退出
父进程先于子进程退出会造成子进程成为孤儿进程,而每当系统发现一个孤儿进程时,就会自动由1号进程(init)收养它,这样,原先的子进程就会变成init进程的子进程-
在子进程中创建新会话
更改工作目录到
/
, 以便umount
一个文件系统重设文件权限掩码, 以便拥有完全的写的权限, 即重设继承来的默认文件权限值
调用
setuid
, 让当前进程成为新的会话组长和进程组长
执行第二次fork
关闭文件描述符, 一般是输入/输出和错误输出, 重定向到/dev/null

上面守护进程的生成步骤中涉及到了孤儿进程
任何孤儿进程产生时都会立即为系统进程init自动接收为子进程,这一过程也被称为“收养”. 但由于创建该进程的进程已不存在,所以仍应称之为“孤儿进程”
与之相关的一个概念就是 僵尸进程了. 当子进程退出时, 父进程需要wait/waitpid
系统调用来读取子进程的exit status, 然后子进程被系统回收. 如果父进程没有wait的话, 子进程将变成一个"僵尸进程", 内核会释放这个子进程所有的资源,包括打开的文件占用的内存等, 但在进程表中仍然有一个PCB, 记录进程号和退出状态等信息, 并导致进程号一直被占用, 而系统能使用的进程号数量是有限的(可以用ulimit
查看相关限制), 如果产生大量僵尸进程的话, 将因为没有可用的进程号而导致系统不能产生新的进程
因此很多自带重启功能的服务实现就是用wait/waitpid
实现的.
waitpid()会暂时停止目前进程的执行,直到有信号来到或子进程结束
比如tornado中fork多进程就是这样, 监控子进程的运行状态, 当其意外退出时自动重启子进程
def fork_processes(num_processes, max_restarts=100):
"""Starts multiple worker processes.
If ``num_processes`` is None or <= 0, we detect the number of cores
available on this machine and fork that number of child
processes. If ``num_processes`` is given and > 0, we fork that
specific number of sub-processes.
Since we use processes and not threads, there is no shared memory
between any server code.
Note that multiple processes are not compatible with the autoreload
module (or the ``autoreload=True`` option to `tornado.web.Application`
which defaults to True when ``debug=True``).
When using multiple processes, no IOLoops can be created or
referenced until after the call to ``fork_processes``.
In each child process, ``fork_processes`` returns its *task id*, a
number between 0 and ``num_processes``. Processes that exit
abnormally (due to a signal or non-zero exit status) are restarted
with the same id (up to ``max_restarts`` times). In the parent
process, ``fork_processes`` returns None if all child processes
have exited normally, but will otherwise only exit by throwing an
exception.
