管理多个节点子进程

managing multiple node child processes

如何管理已分叉的多个并发子进程?

在这个例子中,start_child()可以被多次调用,每次调用都可以运行无限期。当像这样分叉任意数量的子进程时,我如何与每个单独的子进程通信/寻址?假设我有 3 个分叉的子进程 运行ning,它们无限期地保持 运行ning,但我想杀死(或向)2 号子进程发送消息。我该怎么做?

如果调用 stop_child(),它会终止所有当前 运行ning 子进程。如何重构此代码以便我可以在单个子进程上调用 stop_child()

let app     = require('express')();
let server  = require('http').Server(app);
let io      = require('socket.io')(server);
let fork    = require('child_process').fork;

server.listen(80);

app.get('/', function(request, response) {
    response.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

io.on('connection', function(socket) {
    socket.on('start_child', function () {
        start_child();
    });

    socket.on('stop_child', function () {
        child.kill();
    }
}

function start_child() {
    child = fork('./child_script.js');

    //conditional logic to either run
    //start_child() again or let it end
}

更新

我根据一些评论试过了。但是如果我启动 3 个进程然后调用,例如 child[0].kill(),我会得到一个错误:Cannot read property 'kill' of undefined。我猜我的问题是我没有正确地将 i 变量传递给 io.on() 调用:

let app     = require('express')();
let server  = require('http').Server(app);
let io      = require('socket.io')(server);
let fork    = require('child_process').fork;
let i       = 0;
let child   = [];

server.listen(80);

app.get('/', function(request, response) {
    response.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

io.on('connection', function(socket) {
    socket.on('start_child', function (i) {
        start_child(i++);
    });

    //this is hard coded just for testing
    socket.on('stop_child', function () {
        child[0].kill();
    }
}

function start_child(i) {
    child[i] = fork('./child_script.js');

    //conditional logic to either run
    //start_child() again or let it end
}

更新#2

好的,我发现我需要从客户端发送递增变量,通过来自 emit 调用的对象传递。现在当我调用 child[0].kill() 时没有错误。问题是子进程没有被杀死:

server.js

let app     = require('express')();
let server  = require('http').Server(app);
let io      = require('socket.io')(server);
let fork    = require('child_process').fork;

server.listen(80);

app.get('/', function(request, response) {
    response.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

io.on('connection', function(socket) {
    socket.on('start_child', function (count) {
        let num = count.count;
        start_child(num);
    });

    //this is hard coded just for testing
    socket.on('stop_child', function (count) {
        let num = count.count;
        child[num].kill();
    }
}

function start_child(num) {
    child[num] = fork('./child_script.js');

    //conditional logic to either run
    //start_child() again or let it end
}

index.html

$(function () {
    let socket  = io();
    let i       = 0;

    $('#start').on('click', function () {
        socket.emit('start_child', {"count": i++});
    });

    $('#stop').on('click', function () {
        //the count is hard coded here just for testing purposes
        socket.emit('stop_child', {"count": 0});
    });
});

最终更新 - 有决议

解决方案 #2(正上方)实际上是解决方案。之后我遇到的问题(child.kill() 调用似乎没有做任何事情)是由我遗漏的一段代码引起的(在代码注释中:'conditional logic to either run start_child() again or let it end')。

这是里面的内容:

if (condition) {
    setTimeout(start_child, 5000);
} else {
    console.log('this child process has ended');
}

这就是我将其更改为的内容(基本上,我只需要将递增变量传递给 start_child() 函数,以便它在 child 数组中具有相同的位置重新启动):

if (condition) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        start_child(num)
    }, 5000);
} else {
    console.log('this child process has ended');
}

fork() returns 一个 ChildProcess 对象,它在该对象上具有用于与该进程进行进程间通信的方法和事件。因此,您必须在调用 start_child() 时保存每个 ChildProcess 对象,然后使用适当的对象与其他进程进行通信。

您可以看到 ChildProcess 对象的事件和方法here。还有大量的代码示例。

为了给子进程发送消息,使用下面的例子:

parent.js

**

const { fork } = require('child_process');
const forked = fork('child.js');
forked.on('message', (msg) => {
  console.log('Message from child', msg);
});
forked.send({ hello: 'world' });

**

child.js

process.on('message', (msg) => {
  console.log('Message from parent:', msg);
});

let counter = 0;

setInterval(() => {
  process.send({ counter: counter++ });
}, 1000);
