💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is Catalyst::Helper::FastCGI::ExternalServer — the FastCGI daemon start/stop script for using FastCgiExternalServer. yes. that's the whole thing. it makes your lil daemon go. ✨

it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man pages, and it's serving Version 0.05. 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

Version 0.05. that's it. that's the version. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

drop this in your helper script, bestie:

./script/myapp_create.pl FastCGI::ExternalServer [options]

👑 OPTIONS 👑

the options, in order, all of them, no skips, periodt:

  • l=[val], listen=[val] — required, bestie, do not forget this one. this is the socket path to listen on. it defaults to standard input. and it can be HOST:PORT, :PORT, or just a filesystem path. your choice, main character. 🦋
  • n=[val], nproc=[val] — optional. how many processes you wanna keep around to serve requests. defaults to 1, and heads up, it needs -listen. 🍓
  • p=[val], pidfile=[val] — optional. the filename for the pid file. requires -listen. default is /var/run/myapp.pid. 📁
  • u=[val], user=[val] — optional. the username of the executing fastcgi. default is root. 👀
  • o=[val], logfile=[val] — optional. the logfile path. default is /dev/null (so yeah, screaming into the void, but make it configurable). 😭
  • M=[val], manager=[val] — optional. specify an alternate process manager (a FCGI::ProcManager sub-class), or pass an empty string to disable it entirely. 💀
  • e=[key1:val1,key2:val2...], env=[key1:val1,key2:val2...] — optional. drop in some additional environment variables, formatted just like that. 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

this module lets you configure stuff using /etc/sysconfig/myapp. so first, make a file called /etc/sysconfig/myapp, then write some variables in it. and the way that those variables you add will automatically override the environment variables. it just does. iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

🧚 METHODS 🧚

mk_stuff

generate init script. that's the method. it generates the init script. slay. 💅
