# MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File(3pm)

PID file management for MooseX::Daemonize

## NAME

MooseX::Daemonize::Pid::File - PID file management for MooseX::Daemonize

## VERSION

version 0.22

## DESCRIPTION

This object extends MooseX::Daemonize::Pid to add persistence in a Pidfile.

This class sets up some basic coercion routines for itself so that it can be created from a *Str* (a file name), *ArrayRef* (an array of path components for a filename) or a *Path::Class::File* object.

This class registers it's type with MooseX::Getopt as well, and is expected to be passed on the command line as a string (which will then go through the coercion routines mentioned above).

## ATTRIBUTES

- *pid Int*

  This is inherited from \<MooseX:Daemonize::Pid\> and extended here to get it's default value from the Pidfile (if available).

- *file Path::Class::File \| Str*

  ## METHODS

- **clear\_pid**

  - **has\_pid**

  Both of these methods are inherited from \<MooseX:Daemonize::Pid\> see that module for more information.

- **remove**

  This removes the Pidfile.

- **write**

  This writes the Pidfile.

- **does\_file\_exist**

  This checks if the Pidfile exists.

- **is\_running**

  This checks if the Pidfile exists, if it does it checks to see if the process is running, if the Pidfile doesn't exist, it returns false.

- **meta()**

  The `"meta()"` method from Class::MOP::Class
