public class BackgroundProcessor extends Object
BackgroundProcessor takes care of tasks that (1) need to happen periodically to keep Rust-Lightning running properly, and (2) either can or should be run in the background. Its responsibilities are: Monitoring whether the ChannelManager needs to be re-persisted to disk, and if so, writing it to disk/backups by invoking the callback given to it at startup. ChannelManager persistence should be done in the background. Calling `ChannelManager::timer_tick_occurred()` and `PeerManager::timer_tick_occurred()` every minute (can be done in the background). Note that if ChannelManager persistence fails and the persisted manager becomes out-of-date, then there is a risk of channels force-closing on startup when the manager realizes it's outdated. However, as long as `ChannelMonitor` backups are sound, no funds besides those used for unilateral chain closure fees are at risk. BackgroundProcessor will immediately stop on drop. It should be stored until shutdown.

start
public static BackgroundProcessor start(ChannelManagerPersister persister, EventHandler event_handler, ChainMonitor chain_monitor, ChannelManager channel_manager, PeerManager peer_manager, Logger logger)
Start a background thread that takes care of responsibilities enumerated in the [top-level documentation]. The thread runs indefinitely unless the object is dropped, [`stop`] is called, or `persist_manager` returns an error. In case of an error, the error is retrieved by calling either [`join`] or [`stop`]. Typically, users should either implement [`ChannelManagerPersister`] to never return an error or call [`join`] and handle any error that may arise. For the latter case, the `BackgroundProcessor` must be restarted by calling `start` again after handling the error. `persist_manager` is responsible for writing out the [`ChannelManager`] to disk, and/or uploading to one or more backup services. See [`ChannelManager::write`] for writing out a [`ChannelManager`]. See [`FilesystemPersister::persist_manager`] for Rust-Lightning's provided implementation.
