Latest Patents
Cavanaugh's latest patents include innovative methods and apparatus for managing computer processes. One aspect of his invention involves a daemon process that manages server processes, which includes an active server table and a locator service. This locator service is capable of looking up and registering server processes in the active server table. Additionally, it can start up server processes as needed. In some embodiments, the locator service comprises a look-up object and a server process registration object that perform the tasks of the locator service. The methods for managing server processes include starting and registering these processes. A specific method involves a daemon process responding to a look-up call for a target object by obtaining a server identifier, determining the state of a server process, and returning addressing information for the server process under which the target object will activate. If the server process is not running, the daemon process will start it or wait until it is running to return the necessary information. Furthermore, a server process can self-start by receiving an object reference, creating a communications port, and registering itself with the server process registration object.
