Where to catch Premature worker death and processed it

[lifo101]

Take a look at the example in the docs: https://github.com/lifo101/php-daemon/wiki/Workers#return-value

Hello, I updated my daemon to this...I would like get a PID of the $worker = $this->worker('example'), but I dont know how ($worker->call->getPid())

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Lifo\Daemon\Daemon;
use Lifo\Daemon\Mediator\Mediator;

use Lifo\Daemon\LogTrait;
use Lifo\Daemon\Promise;

class MyWorker {
  public function getUrl($endPoint) {
    sleep(1); // fake latency

    // To do something...

    // When finished it return url api
    return $endPoint;
  }
}

class MyDaemon extends Daemon {
  public $api = array('www.api1.com', 'www.api2.com', 'www.api3.com', 'www.api4.com', 'www.api5.com', 'www.api6.com');
  public static $runningApi = array();

  public function getApi() {
    static $loop = 1;
    $counter = sizeof($this->api);
    if ($counter >= $loop) {
      $api = $this->api[$loop-1];
    } else {
      $loop = 1;
      $api = $this->api[$loop-1];
    }
    $loop++;
    return $api;
  }

  public function initialize() {
    $this->addWorker(new MyWorker(), 'example')->setAutoRestart(true)->setMaxProcesses(6);
  }

  public function execute() {
      $api = $this->getApi();
      if (!in_array($api, self::$runningApi)) {
        // Here I would like get PID
        $worker = $this->worker('example');
        $pid = // How can get PID of this worker... something like $worker->call->getPid()?
        self::$runningApi[$pid] = $api;

        // the worker method will return a Promise
        $worker->getUrl($api)->then(function($data) {
            //$call = $data->getCall(); and here I would like get PID
            unset(self::$runningApi[$call->getPid()]);
        }, function ($data) {
          if ($data instanceof CallDiedException) {
            $call = $data->getCall();
            unset(self::$runningApi[$call->getPid()]);
          }
        });
      }
  }
}

MyDaemon::getInstance()->setVerbose(true)->setDebug(true)->setLogFile('/tmp/MyDaemon.log')->run();

Why? The point of the Daemon is to encapsulate the details of how your workers are forked in the background.

When you create a Worker it can have many forked processes in the background, depending on how you set it up. So, getting a PID from the $worker variable would not be useful since you would only get a PID from one of the many forked processes w/o any relationship to whatever method you're calling.

However, Option 1: In your Worker code, you can add the PID to the returned array|object and act on it in the parent. For example, the getUrl function could return an array like so. But this is only partially useful, since you know the PID of a process that may not even exist anymore, or that PID may be used again for another call to your method (getUrl).

  public function getUrl($endPoint) {
    return [
      'pid' => getpid(),
      'url' => 'https://myurl.com/...'
    ];
  }

Option 2: I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but a better way to link the data you're passing to the forked method and your parent is to pass an 'ID' of some sort to the method and then return that same ID in the forked method. (eg: getUrl($id) => return ['url' => 'url', 'id' => $id]).

And btw, please look at the example in the Wiki where I catch the CallDiedException. This is one place you can see the PID of the process.

My advice, forget about PID's.
