Process Manager Functionality• Starts process groups, with specification of environments of

application processes, either collectively or on a process-by-process basis– Executable– Arguments– Environment variables– User– Resource limits– Hosts for each process– Working directory

• Queries the state of a running process group, returning some startup parameters

• Delivers signals to all processes in a process group• Terminates a process group• After process group exit, can wait on the group to collect exit

codes and output.

4

Process Manager Syntax

• The Process Manager uses the “less restricted syntax” style presented elsewhere

• Each message to it does three things:1. Describes a process group specification

to be matched or created2. Conveys a command, with arguments3. Specifies an object to be returned

5

Process Manager Commands

• CreateProcessGroup– Takes as input a ProcessGroupSpecification object– Returns a PGID

• GetProcessGroup– Takes as input a ProcessGroup object which is matched against– Returns a ProcessGroups container object containing requested

fields from matched process group instances

• SignalProcessGroup– Takes as input a Process Group object which is matched against– Takes as argument a signal name and the scope of the signal

(top-level processes or also forkees)– Returns requested fields from the process groups signaled

6

Process Manager Commands (cont.)

• KillProcessGroup– Terminates matching process groups

• Best effort to really kill processes, which may require repeated signalling

– Returns the process groups matched• WaitProcessGroup

– Returns exit code information and stream output from matching completed process groups

– Purges such information from the Process Manager state

7

Process Manager Datatypes

• ProcessGroupSpecification– Used as input to CreateProcessGroup

• ProcessGroup– Used as matching description and returned

description in other commands

8

Process Manager Events• Generated when a process group is successfully started:

<Event>  <Component>process-manager</Component>  <Message>ProcessStart</Message>  <Data>29</Data> </Event>

• Generated when a process group terminates:

<Event>  <Component>process-manager</Component>  <Message>ProcessEnd</Message>  <Data>29</Data> </Event>
