Other Interfaces

This section concludes the overview of Interface components used in the mass-spring-damper example, by listing other commonly used interfaces that were not covered previously.

  • ApplicationKiller: Terminates the application when a specific Message is received. Useful for implementing controlled shutdowns or safety mechanisms.

  • SysLogger: Designed to be used with the LoggerService. Forwards log messages to the system syslog, enabling integration with standard OS logging tools and monitoring systems.

  • TcnTimeProvider: Typically used together with a LinuxTimer. Provides time synchronisation based on TCN (Timing Communication Network), ensuring consistent and accurate timing across distributed systems.
