Hi,
What is the easiest way to create a daemon process in Python? Google
says I should call fork() and other system calls manually, but is
there no os.daemon() and the like?
Regards,

I find that this works great. I just pasted my copy, I think you can
find it via Google.

I've found it even easier to use the built in threading modules:
import time
t1 = time.time()
print "t_poc.py called at", t1
import threading
def im_a_thread():
time.sleep(10)
print "This is your thread speaking at", time.time()
thread = threading.Threa d(target=im_a_t hread)
thread.setDaemo n(True)
thread.start()
t2 = time.time()
print "Time elapsed in main thread:", t2 - t1
Of course, your mileage may vary. ga******@gmail. com wrote:

That's not a daemon process (which are used to execute 'background services'
in UNIX environments).

I had not tested this by running the script directly, and in writing a
response, I found out that the entire interpreter closed when the main
thread exited (killing the daemonic thread in the process). This is
different behavior from running the script interactively, and thus my
confusion.
Thanks! ~Garrick
Thanks all,
I understood there is no shortcut function like BSD daemon(). I'll do
it manually using examples from cookbook...

That doesn't close the underlying file descriptors...
Here is another method which does :-
null = os.open(os.devn ull, os.O_RDWR)
os.dup2(null, sys.stdin.filen o())
os.dup2(null, sys.stdout.file no())
os.dup2(null, sys.stderr.file no())
os.close(null)
if (not os.fork()):
# hang around till adopted by init
ppid = os.getppid()
while (ppid != 1):
time.sleep(0.5)
ppid = os.getppid()
Why do you need hang around until adopted by init? I've never see
that in a daemonize recipe before?
else:
# time for child to die
os._exit(0)
else:
# wait for child to die and then bail
os.wait()
sys.exit()

Hi all.
I want to run a Python daemon that manages a "to-do" queue. I want it
so that the daemon is always running, where its running consists of
looking at the queue to see if it has any jobs, and if it does, remove
the job from the queue and "do the job".
This all seems quite doable using the synchronized Queue.py module and
this page

I've created a Python daemon that starts a bunch of BitTorrent downloader
process. Everything is working fine when I start the daemon by hand (logged
on as root). I can quit the session and see that the daemon is running and
the subprocesses are running, too. However, when I configure the system to
automatically start the daemon on boot-up, the daemon runs, but the
processes are not created.
This is on Solaris 8 with Python 2.3.3. ...

Hi, I'm writing a program, using popen4(gnuchess),
The problem is, that gnuchess keeps running after program exit.
I know about the atexit module, but in java, you could make a process a
daemon process, and it would only run as long as the real processes ran. I
think this is a better way to stop gnuchess, as you are 100% sure, that
it'll stop.
Can you do this with popen?

Howdy all,
For making a Python program calve off an independent daemon process of
itself, I found Carl J. Schroeder's recipe in the ASPN Python Cookbook.
<URL:http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/278731>
This is a thorough approach, and I'm cribbing a simpler process from
this example. One thing that strikes me is that the algorithm seems to
depend on running the program as the root user.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
