Competing for exclusive flag among toad workers

[Matija Papec]

I would like to give exclusive flag to one of the workers in a way that if it gets killed, some other worker picks up the flag (possibly without recurring timer involved).

Perhaps something along the lines,

Mojo::IOLoop->flock($fh, LOCK_EX, sub{

    say "waiting was worthwhile, just got exclusive flag";

});

Please suggest plugin or perldoc reference to such functionality.

thanks in advance

A more interesting questions is "why do you want this?"

This comes up from time to time, and often the right solution is to run another daemon in parallell.

Tnx, I think that same rule for separate server can be applied here as I need to keep one open ws client connection.
