AutoKill process
Hello
In some case it might be impossible to manage process from IDE
Would be nice to have a way for dcd-server to autokill if client fails to send a KeepAlive message after x sec/min/hour
Proposition:
A new param: --keep-alive-req 5000
If using this param, dcd-server will require a KeepAlive message every 5000 milliseconds, or it'll auto kill
Which IDE doesn't allow this? How would you start the process for use in the IDE?
I guess just a kill command instead wouldn't work, as then dcd-server would still be alive if the IDE closes without sending the kill command?
if the IDE crashes or doesn't have a shutdown signal (because it's only a plugin) this would be useful for example
No need for a keepalive / timer, you can use stdin for this. If a command-line switch is present and stdin is closed (EOF), then it's time to exit. Then the IDE doesn't have to worry about telling DCD to shut down at all.
