setDaemonIdleTimeout()

​

Syntax

OpenComicAI.setDaemonIdleTimeout(timeout?: number): void

​

Parameters

​

Returns

​

Behavior

• Daemons track their last usage time
• When a daemon is idle for longer than the timeout, it’s eligible for closure
• Automatic cleanup helps prevent memory leaks
• Setting a longer timeout keeps daemons alive for more reuse
• Setting a shorter timeout frees resources more quickly

​

Example

import OpenComicAI from '@opencomic/ai-bin';

// Set timeout to 2 minutes (120,000 milliseconds)
OpenComicAI.setDaemonIdleTimeout(120000);

// Set timeout to 30 seconds for aggressive cleanup
OpenComicAI.setDaemonIdleTimeout(30000);

// Daemons will automatically close after being idle
await OpenComicAI.upscale({
  input: 'image.jpg',
  output: 'upscaled.jpg',
  daemonMode: true
});

// Daemon stays alive for reuse within timeout window

​

Timeout considerations

​

Short timeout (10-30 seconds)

• Aggressive resource cleanup
• Less daemon reuse
• More startup overhead
• Better for sporadic processing

​

Medium timeout (60 seconds - default)

• Balanced approach
• Good daemon reuse
• Reasonable resource usage
• Suitable for most applications

​

Long timeout (2-5 minutes)

• Maximum daemon reuse
• Daemons stay in memory longer
• Less startup overhead
• Best for continuous processing
