Child process executing tasks of parent process
Hi Team,

I am using httpd and mod_perl libraries to spawn the process to
execute the tasks. httpd will spawn a process which is parent and it will
spawn the other child process to perform the tasks.
The parent process job is to monitor the child process and the
child process has to perform the functionality taks. All of sudden one of
the child process is executing the tasks of the parent instead of the child
process tasks.

I am using RHEL8 environment and these below are library
versions.
Same piece of code worked in Cent 7.

httpd: 2.4.6
mod_perl: 2.0.10

Could you please help here, how to debug the issue?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Deepak,

I have specific logs for parent and child process and am able
to see the logs of parent process dumped in child process log with child
process id.

Child process worked perfectly till Wed Sep 27 21:16:23 2023: and after
that I didn't see any logs. Suddenly it started dumping the parent process
logs from Wed Sep 27 21:43:39 2023. It's not recovering , it's required to
kill the child process then Parent process will spawn another child process
to do the task and the newly spawned child will work for some time and
again enter into the issue state.

I am not sure what is *Client Monitor Workers. *It might not be the
same as *Client
Workers.*

Re: Child process executing tasks of parent process [ In reply to ]
Hi Deepak,


*Client Monitor Workers is application specific log. This message will be
logged by the parent process in my application but not the child process.
In the issue state, I am seeing the *
*Client Monitor Workers in both parent and child logs as the child is
executing the tasks of the parent instead of its own. How can we
debug this?*

Re: Child process executing tasks of parent process [ In reply to ]
Obviously there is a common function which is being called by your server,
client threads.

You will have to share your code for us to find out what's going on.

Re: Child process executing tasks of parent process [ In reply to ]
Yes, Deepak
the parent and child process are derived from same Base class.
i defined a function name main in base class with empty implememationa and
same got implemented for both parent and child in their own module.
Below is a skeleton of code. the parent process is spawned while
bootstrapping the httpd and then child process is spawned from parent. I
am using fork to spawn the process

package Test::Base;

#common functionalities will define here

#abstract main method. should implement in derived modules
sub main {}
}

1;
--------------------------------------------
package Test::Parent;
use base qw(Test::Base);

#specific functionality for Parent

#task of main to spawn and monitor the child process
sub main {
#spawn child process if its not spawned already

#check the spawned child process status. start the child process which
are not alive
}

1;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
package Test::Child;
use base qw(Test::Base);

#specific functionality of child process

sub main {
#check and execute the tasks of child continuously
#use ally its never ending loop to check and execute the tsak
#even if its come out , i will exit the child process using CORE::exit()
}

1;

Re: Child process executing tasks of parent process [ In reply to ]
It’s not the point of this distribution list to discuss Perl, but fork will
return the process id for both processes. A simple pattern for the source
code looks like:

pid = fork();
if (pid==0){print "do the child things";}
else {print "do parent things"}

You want to aim your script semantics according to the pid. This is because
the source code is executed by both processes.
