Synopsis

The PHP Daemon library allows you to easily create stable, robust and long running PHP processes with minimal boilerplate code. Parallel background Tasks and Workers run independently and can be called with a single line of code. The setup, maintenance and cleanup of these background processes are handled automatically by the ProcessManager plugin. The list below shows the steps needed to make the minimal daemon possible (w/o any custom configuration, plugins, tasks or workers).

1. Extend the core Daemon class. For example: class MyDaemon extends Daemon {}
2. Implement the abstract method execute(), which is called every loop cycle (1 second by default)
3. Get the daemon instance and call run: MyDaemon::getInstance()->run() (Daemon is a singleton)
