Computing unit, method of managing computing unit, and computing unit management program

A computing unit that is provided with an operating system and that is connected with another computing unit via an information transmission medium in a mutually communicable manner, comprising:

• an intermediary component that launches a software component as a child process, thus serving as a parent process for the software component;
• that is interposed between the software component and the operating system;
• and that outputs abnormality information for the software component to middleware that manages availability of the software component;
• wherein the operating system monitors a running status of the software component and reports the abnormality information to the intermediary component in the case in which an abnormality is detected in the software component;
• and
• upon acquiring the abnormality information via the intermediary component, the middleware reports the abnormality information for the software component to the other computing unit.

A computing unit management method for a computing unit that is connected with another computing unit via an information transmission medium in a matually communicable manner, the method comprising:

• a stage of launching a software component as a child process by using middleware interposed between the software component and the operating system, thus making the middleware serve as a parent process for the software component;
• a stage of monitoring a running status of the software component by using the operating system and reporting abnormality information to the middleware in the case in which an abnormality is detected in the software component;
• and
• a stage of reporting, once the abnormality information is acquired, the abnormality information for the software component to the other computing unit by using the middleware.
