Services¶
Servers a session's devices talk to, and the processes behind them.
A container declares services with
declare_service and makes a Service for
each. A launched service is a child process the container starts and stops; an
attached one already runs elsewhere and only lends its devices their prefix.
STARTUP_TIMEOUT
module-attribute
¶
Seconds a launched service has to print its readiness line.
STOP_TIMEOUT
module-attribute
¶
Seconds each step of Service.stop waits, unless the service gives its own.
Service
¶
A server devices talk to, and its process if the session owns it.
A container makes one per declared service. A service with a module is
launched as python -m <module> <args>; one without is attached to, runs
elsewhere, and start and stop do nothing. Each output line is logged
under redsun.service.<name>: as the record it describes if it is a JSON
log record, at DEBUG otherwise; see service_record.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
name
|
str

Name of the service. |
required |

Prefix given to each device naming the service. |

Module to run. |
None
|
args
|
Sequence[str]
|
Command-line arguments following the module. |
()
|
ready
|
str | None
|
Text of the output line marking the service ready. |
None
|
stop_timeout
|
float

Seconds each step of |
STOP_TIMEOUT
|
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
TypeError
|
If args are given without a module. |

sig_exited
class-attribute
instance-attribute
¶
Emitted with the name and exit code when a ready service exits unasked.
launched
property
¶
Whether the session launches this service rather than attaching to it.
start
¶
Launch the service and wait until it prints its readiness line.
The process runs without a console window on Windows and gets its own
Channel Access server port, added to EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST here so
devices find it among several local services. The service keeps that
port for every start in this process. The process writes UTF-8, and
each output line is logged as service_record rebuilds it.
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
TimeoutError
|
If the readiness line does not appear within |
RuntimeError
|
If the process exits before it is ready. |
Source code in src/redsun/services/_service.py
stop
¶
Stop the launched process, escalating until it exits.
First its standard input is closed, the one request that lets a service
clean up on every platform. On POSIX a service still running after
stop_timeout gets SIGINT; one still running after that, or after
the first step on Windows, is killed.
