=head1 NAME

AnyEvent::Watchdog - generic watchdog/program restarter

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   # MUST be use'd as the very first thing in the main program,
   # as it clones/forks the program before it returns.
   use AnyEvent::Watchdog;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module implements a watchdog that can repeatedly fork the program and
thus effectively restart it - as soon as the module is use'd, it will fork
the program (if possible) and continue to run it normally in the child,
while the parent becomes a supervisor.

The child can then ask the supervisor to restart itself instead of
exiting, or ask the supervisor to restart it gracefully or forcefully.

B This module B<< I >> be used as the first thing in the main
program. It will cause weird effects when used from another module, as
perl does not expect to be forked inside C blocks.

=head1 RECIPES

Use AnyEvent::Watchdog solely as a convenient on-demand-restarter:

   use AnyEvent::Watchdog;

   # and whenever you want to restart (e.g. to upgrade code):
   use AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util;
   AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util::restart;

Use AnyEvent::Watchdog to kill the program and exit when the event loop
fails to run for more than two minutes:

   use AnyEvent::Watchdog autorestart => 1, heartbeat => 120;

Use AnyEvent::Watchdog to automatically kill (but not restart) the program when it fails
to handle events for longer than 5 minutes:

   use AnyEvent::Watchdog heartbeat => 300;

=head1 VARIABLES/FUNCTIONS

This module is controlled via the L module:

   use AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util;

   # attempt restart
   AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util::restart;

   # check if it is running
   AnyEvent::Watchdog::Util::enabled
      or croak "not running under watchdog!";
