Class Method Summary (collapse)
-
+ (Object) abort
Terminate execution immediately, effectively by calling
Kernel.exit(false). -
+ (Object) daemon
Detach the process from controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemon.
-
+ (Object) detach(pid)
Some operating systems retain the status of terminated child processes until the parent collects that status (normally using some variant of
wait(). If the parent never collects this status, the child stays around as a zombie process.Process::detachprevents this by setting up a separate Ruby thread whose sole job is to reap the status of the process pid when it terminates. Usedetachonly when you do not intent to explicitly wait for the child to terminate.The waiting thread returns the exit status of the detached process when it terminates, so you can use
Thread#jointo know the result. If specified pid is not a valid child process ID, the thread returnsnilimmediately.The waiting thread has
pidmethod which returns the pid.In this first example, we don't reap the first child process, so it appears as a zombie in the process status display.
p1 = fork { sleep 0.1 } p2 = fork { sleep 0.2 } Process.waitpid(p2) sleep 2 system("ps -ho pid,state -p #{p1}")produces:

+ (Object) detach(pid)
Some operating systems retain the status of terminated child processes
until the parent collects that status (normally using some variant of
wait(). If the parent never collects this status, the child
stays around as a zombie process. Process::detach
prevents this by setting up a separate Ruby thread whose sole job is to
reap the status of the process pid when it terminates. Use
detach only when you do not intent to explicitly wait for the
child to terminate.
The waiting thread returns the exit status of the detached process when it
terminates, so you can use Thread#join to know the result. If
specified pid is not a valid child process ID, the thread returns
nil immediately.
The waiting thread has pid method which returns the pid.
In this first example, we don't reap the first child process, so it appears as a zombie in the process status display.
p1 = fork { sleep 0.1 }
p2 = fork { sleep 0.2 }
Process.waitpid(p2)
sleep 2
system("ps -ho pid,state -p #{p1}")
produces:

In the next example, Process::detach is used to reap the child
automatically.

p2 = fork { sleep 0.2 }
Process.detach(p1)

Replaces the current process by running the given external command. command... is one of following forms.
commandline : command line string which is passed to the standard shell
cmdname, arg1, ... : command name and one or more arguments (no shell)
[cmdname, argv0], arg1, ... : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell)
If single string is given as the command, it is taken as a command line that is subject to shell expansion before being executed.
The standard shell means always "/bin/sh" on
Unix-like systems, ENV["RUBYSHELL"] or
ENV["COMSPEC"] on Windows NT series, and similar.
If two or more string given, the first is taken as a command
name and the rest are passed as parameters to command with no shell
expansion.
If a two-element array at the beginning of the command, the first element
is the command to be executed, and the second argument is used as the
argv[0] value, which may show up in process listings.
In order to execute the command, one of the exec(2) system
calls is used, so the running command may inherit some of the environment
of the original program (including open file descriptors). This behavior is
modified by env and options. See spawn for details.
Raises SystemCallError if the command couldn't execute (typically
Errno::ENOENT when it was not found).

+ (Fixnum?) fork { ... } + (Fixnum?) fork { ... }
Creates a subprocess. If a block is specified, that block is run in the
subprocess, and the subprocess terminates with a status of zero. Otherwise,
the fork call returns twice, once in the parent, returning the
process ID of the child, and once in the child, returning nil. The
child process can exit using Kernel.exit! to avoid running any
at_exit functions. The parent process should use
Process.wait to collect the termination statuses of its
children or use Process.detach to register disinterest in
their status; otherwise, the operating system may accumulate zombie
processes.
The thread calling fork is the only thread in the created child process. fork doesn't copy other threads.
If fork is not usable, Process.respond_to?(:fork) returns false.

+ (Object) spawn([env,][,options]) + (Object) spawn([env,][,options])
spawn executes specified command and return its pid.
This method doesn't wait for end of the command. The parent process
should use Process.wait to collect the termination status of
its child or use Process.detach to register disinterest in
their status; otherwise, the operating system may accumulate zombie
processes.
spawn has bunch of options to specify process attributes:
env: hash name => val : set the environment variable name => nil : unset the environment variable command...: commandline : command line string which is passed to the standard shell cmdname, arg1, ... : command name and one or more arguments (no shell) [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ... : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell) options: hash clearing environment variables: :unsetenv_others => true : clear environment variables except specified by env :unsetenv_others => false : don't clear (default) process group: :pgroup => true or 0 : make a new process group :pgroup => pgid : join to specified process group :pgroup => nil : don't change the process group (default) resource limit: resourcename is core, cpu, data, etc. See Process.setrlimit. :rlimit_resourcename => limit :rlimit_resourcename => [cur_limit, max_limit] current directory: :chdir => str umask: :umask => int redirection: key: FD : single file descriptor in child process [FD, FD, ...] : multiple file descriptor in child process value: FD : redirect to the file descriptor in parent process string : redirect to file with open(string, "r" or "w") [string] : redirect to file with open(string, File::RDONLY) [string, open_mode] : redirect to file with open(string, open_mode, 0644) [string, open_mode, perm] : redirect to file with open(string, open_mode, perm) [:child, FD] : redirect to the redirected file descriptor :close : close the file descriptor in child process FD is one of follows :in : the file descriptor 0 which is the standard input :out : the file descriptor 1 which is the standard output :err : the file descriptor 2 which is the standard error integer : the file descriptor of specified the integer io : the file descriptor specified as io.fileno file descriptor inheritance: close non-redirected non-standard fds (3, 4, 5, ...) or not :close_others => false : inherit fds (default for system and exec) :close_others => true : don't inherit (default for spawn and IO.popen)
If a hash is given as env, the environment is updated by
env before exec(2) in the child process. If a
pair in env has nil as the value, the variable is deleted.
# set FOO as BAR and unset BAZ. pid = spawn({"FOO"=>"BAR", "BAZ"=>nil}, command)
If a hash is given as options, it specifies process group,
resource limit, current directory, umask and redirects for the child
process. Also, it can be specified to clear environment variables.
The :unsetenv_others key in options specifies to
clear environment variables, other than specified by env.
pid = spawn(command, :unsetenv_others=>true) # no environment variable pid = spawn({"FOO"=>"BAR"}, command, :unsetenv_others=>true) # FOO only
The :pgroup key in options specifies a process
group. The corresponding value should be true, zero or positive integer.
true and zero means the process should be a process leader of a new process
group. Other values specifies a process group to be belongs.
pid = spawn(command, :pgroup=>true) # process leader pid = spawn(command, :pgroup=>10) # belongs to the process group 10
The :rlimit_foo key specifies a resource limit.
foo should be one of resource types such as core. The
corresponding value should be an integer or an array which have one or two
integers: same as cur_limit and max_limit arguments for Process.setrlimit.
cur, max = Process.getrlimit(:CORE) pid = spawn(command, :rlimit_core=>[0,max]) # disable core temporary. pid = spawn(command, :rlimit_core=>max) # enable core dump pid = spawn(command, :rlimit_core=>0) # never dump core.
The :chdir key in options specifies the current
directory.
pid = spawn(command, :chdir=>"/var/tmp")
The :umask key in options specifies the umask.
pid = spawn(command, :umask=>077)
The :in, :out, :err, a fixnum, an IO and an array key specifies a redirection. The redirection maps a file descriptor in the child process.
For example, stderr can be merged into stdout as follows:
pid = spawn(command, :err=>:out) pid = spawn(command, 2=>1) pid = spawn(command, STDERR=>:out) pid = spawn(command, STDERR=>STDOUT)
The hash keys specifies a file descriptor in the child process started by
spawn. :err, 2 and STDERR specifies the standard error stream
(stderr).
The hash values specifies a file descriptor in the parent process which
invokes spawn. :out, 1 and STDOUT specifies the standard
output stream (stdout).
In the above example, the standard output in the child process is not specified. So it is inherited from the parent process.
The standard input stream (stdin) can be specified by :in, 0 and STDIN.
A filename can be specified as a hash value.
pid = spawn(command, :in=>"/dev/null") # read mode pid = spawn(command, :out=>"/dev/null") # write mode pid = spawn(command, :err=>"log") # write mode pid = spawn(command, 3=>"/dev/null") # read mode
For stdout and stderr, it is opened in write mode. Otherwise read mode is used.
For specifying flags and permission of file creation explicitly, an array is used instead.
pid = spawn(command, :in=>["file"]) # read mode is assumed pid = spawn(command, :in=>["file", "r"]) pid = spawn(command, :out=>["log", "w"]) # 0644 assumed pid = spawn(command, :out=>["log", "w", 0600]) pid = spawn(command, :out=>["log", File::WRONLY|File::EXCL|File::CREAT, 0600])
The array specifies a filename, flags and permission. The flags can be a string or an integer. If the flags is omitted or nil, File::RDONLY is assumed. The permission should be an integer. If the permission is omitted or nil, 0644 is assumed.
If an array of IOs and integers are specified as a hash key, all the elements are redirected.
# stdout and stderr is redirected to log file. # The file "log" is opened just once. pid = spawn(command, [:out, :err]=>["log", "w"])
Another way to merge multiple file descriptors is [:child, fd]. [:child, fd] means the file descriptor in the child process. This is different from fd. For example, :err=>:out means redirecting child stderr to parent stdout. But :err=>[:child, :out] means redirecting child stderr to child stdout. They differs if stdout is redirected in the child process as follows.
# stdout and stderr is redirected to log file. # The file "log" is opened just once. pid = spawn(command, :out=>["log", "w"], :err=>[:child, :out])
[:child, :out] can be used to merge stderr into stdout in IO.popen. In this case, IO.popen redirects stdout to a pipe in the child process and [:child, :out] refers the redirected stdout.
io = IO.popen(["sh", "-c", "echo out; echo err >&2", :err=>[:child, :out]]) p io.read #=> "out\nerr\n"
spawn closes all non-standard unspecified descriptors by default. The "standard" descriptors are 0, 1 and 2. This behavior is specified by :close_others option. :close_others doesn't affect the standard descriptors which are closed only if :close is specified explicitly.
pid = spawn(command, :close_others=>true) # close 3,4,5,... (default) pid = spawn(command, :close_others=>false) # don't close 3,4,5,...
:close_others is true by default for spawn and IO.popen.
So IO.pipe and spawn can be used as IO.popen.
# similar to r = IO.popen(command) r, w = IO.pipe pid = spawn(command, :out=>w) # r, w is closed in the child process. w.close
:close is specified as a hash value to close a fd individually.
f = open(foo) system(command, f=>:close) # don't inherit f.
If a file descriptor need to be inherited, io=>io can be used.
# valgrind has --log-fd option for log destination. # log_w=>log_w indicates log_w.fileno inherits to child process. log_r, log_w = IO.pipe pid = spawn("valgrind", "--log-fd=#{log_w.fileno}", "echo", "a", log_w=>log_w) log_w.close p log_r.read
It is also possible to exchange file descriptors.
pid = spawn(command, :out=>:err, :err=>:out)
The hash keys specify file descriptors in the child process. The hash
values specifies file descriptors in the parent process. So the above
specifies exchanging stdout and stderr. Internally, spawn uses
an extra file descriptor to resolve such cyclic file descriptor mapping.
See Kernel.exec for the standard shell.

* Process.spawn([env,] command... [,options]) -> pid
*
* spawn executes specified command and return its pid.
*
* This method doesn't wait for end of the command.
* The parent process should
* use <code>Process.wait</code> to collect
* the termination status of its child or
* use <code>Process.detach</code> to register
* disinterest in their status;
* otherwise, the operating system may accumulate zombie processes.
*
* spawn has bunch of options to specify process attributes:
*
* env: hash
* name => val : set the environment variable
* name => nil : unset the environment variable
* command...:
* commandline : command line string which is passed to the standard shell
* cmdname, arg1, ... : command name and one or more arguments (no shell)
* [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ... : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell)
* options: hash
* clearing environment variables:
* :unsetenv_others => true : clear environment variables except specified by env
* :unsetenv_others => false : don't clear (default)
* process group:
* :pgroup => true or 0 : make a new process group
* :pgroup => pgid : join to specified process group
* :pgroup => nil : don't change the process group (default)
* resource limit: resourcename is core, cpu, data, etc. See Process.setrlimit.
* :rlimit_resourcename => limit
* :rlimit_resourcename => [cur_limit, max_limit]
* current directory:
* :chdir => str
* umask:
* :umask => int
* redirection:
* key:
* FD : single file descriptor in child process
* [FD, FD, ...] : multiple file descriptor in child process
* value:
* FD : redirect to the file descriptor in parent process
* string : redirect to file with open(string, "r" or "w")
* [string] : redirect to file with open(string, File::RDONLY)
* [string, open_mode] : redirect to file with open(string, open_mode, 0644)
* [string, open_mode, perm] : redirect to file with open(string, open_mode, perm)
* [:child, FD] : redirect to the redirected file descriptor
* :close : close the file descriptor in child process
* FD is one of follows
* :in : the file descriptor 0 which is the standard input
* :out : the file descriptor 1 which is the standard output
* :err : the file descriptor 2 which is the standard error
* integer : the file descriptor of specified the integer
* io : the file descriptor specified as io.fileno
* file descriptor inheritance: close non-redirected non-standard fds (3, 4, 5, ...) or not
* :close_others => false : inherit fds (default for system and exec)
* :close_others => true : don't inherit (default for spawn and IO.popen)

* Waits for a child process to exit, returns its process id, and
* sets <code>$?</code> to a <code>Process::Status</code> object
* containing information on that process. Which child it waits on
* depends on the value of _pid_:
*
* > 0:: Waits for the child whose process ID equals _pid_.
*
* 0:: Waits for any child whose process group ID equals that of the
* calling process.
*
* -1:: Waits for any child process (the default if no _pid_ is
* given).
*
* < -1:: Waits for any child whose process group ID equals the absolute
* value of _pid_.
*
* The _flags_ argument may be a logical or of the flag values
* <code>Process::WNOHANG</code> (do not block if no child available)
* or <code>Process::WUNTRACED</code> (return stopped children that
* haven't been reported). Not all flags are available on all
* platforms, but a flag value of zero will work on all platforms.
*

Waits for a child process to exit (see Process::waitpid for exact
semantics) and returns an array containing the process id and the exit
status (a Process::Status object) of that child. Raises a
