NAME

DBIx::QuickDB::Watcher - Daemon that sits between main process and mysqld

DESCRIPTION

When a database is spun up a 'db-quick-watcher' process is started. This process has 1 job: Make sure cleanup happens. This process is a daemon completely disconnected from the process that requested the database, and the db-server is a process under it.

If this process detects that your main process goes away (exited, killed, etc) this process will kill the database server and delete the data dir, then exit.

The main process can also send signals to this one to make it stop, clean up, etc.

SIGNALS

SIGINT - Stop the server, but do not delete the data: This will stop the server, but keep the data dir intact.
SIGTERM - Stop the server, delete the data (if requested): This will stop the server, and if the instance is supposed to be cleaned up then the data dir will be deleted.
SIGHUP - Do not report errors: This will tell the daemon not to report when the server exits badly. This is mainly used for garbage collection purposes.
