Enablers: Process Management
Functional Description

The Process Management system is responsible for launching; maintaining running Qt Extended system programs, especially those designed to provide services or execute in the background; and for cleanly terminating them. It also provides logging/debugging support.

Features

• Daemons
• Life-cycle Management of Qt Extended Programs

Daemons

Daemon programs are one example of applications which are not user-initiated GUI applications.

Current examples of "daemon" programs in Qt Extended are:

• quicklauncher
• sipagent
• helixplayer
• messageserver

Basic daemon support is provided in Qt Extended by the StartupApplications task.

Life-cycle Management of Qt Extended Programs

The Process Management system manages the lifecycle of Qt Extended programs. Additionally it is designed to handle those Qt Extended programs which do
not follow the pattern of a typical user-initiated GUI application.
