NAME App::ChromeUtils - Utilities related to Google Chrome browser VERSION This document describes version 0.005 of App::ChromeUtils (from Perl distribution App-ChromeUtils), released on 2020-04-19. SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION This distribution includes several utilities related to Google Chrome browser: * chrome-is-paused * kill-chrome * list-chrome-profiles * pause-chrome * ps-chrome * terminate-chrome * unpause-chrome FUNCTIONS chrome_is_paused Usage: chrome_is_paused(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Check whether Chrome is paused. Chrome is defined as paused if *all* of its processes are in 'stop' state. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * quiet => *true* * users => *array[unix::local_uid]* Kill browser processes that belong to certain user(s) only. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) pause_chrome Usage: pause_chrome(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Pause (kill -STOP) Chrome. A modern browser now runs complex web pages and applications. Despite browser's power management feature, these pages/tabs on the browser often still eat considerable CPU cycles even though they only run in the background. Stopping (kill -STOP) the browser processes is a simple and effective way to stop CPU eating on Unix. It can be performed whenever you are not using your browsers for a little while, e.g. when you are typing on an editor or watching a movie. When you want to use your browser again, simply unpause it. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * users => *array[unix::local_uid]* Kill browser processes that belong to certain user(s) only. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) ps_chrome Usage: ps_chrome(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] List Chrome processes. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * users => *array[unix::local_uid]* Kill browser processes that belong to certain user(s) only. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) terminate_chrome Usage: terminate_chrome(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Terminate (kill -KILL) Chrome. This function is not exported.
