slor / daemon_example.py

Created July 8, 2013 05:04

An example of a Linux daemon written in Python. Based on http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python

	""" An example of a Linux daemon written in Python.

	Based on http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python/

	The changes are:
	1 - Uses file open context managers instead of calls to file().
	2 - Forces stdin to /dev/null. stdout and stderr go to log files.
	3 - Uses print instead of sys.stdout.write prior to pointing stdout to the log file.
	4 - Omits try/excepts if they only wrap one error message w/ another.
