Worker and pcntl_exec support

[quazardous]

I use pcntl_exec to isolate curl calls because curl is not multi process safe.

I was wondering how I could use php-daemon and workers and be able to handle the return code of the code ran under pcntl_exec()

I'm not familiar with how pcntl_exec works. Have you tried to use it within your daemon yet? If you call that method while in a worker process, it might not cause any issues. But, since pcntl_exec "replaces" the current process with the sub process, I'm not sure what side effects that will have on the worker process, it may break it's communication with the parent daemon process.

I will also add, that if you're just triggering a worker to 'fire and forget' the process, then you should be able to maybe safely use a Task, since those don't communicate to the daemon parent.

and is it possible to retrieve Task exit code ?

I've a somewhat handmade daemon using fork and pcntl_exec() but not with your Daemon yet

If you use a Worker, then you can return the exit code, but not from a Task.

crap I'm stuck ...
could exit code for Task be something you'll consider usefull ?

[lifo101]

That is why there are Workers.

I mean the low level pcntl_wexitstatus

could be an event

The Daemon::task method returns a Process object that represents the sub process that was started. Using that object you can interact with the process. ie: get it's PID, etc. Using that you might be able to do more of what you want to do.
