You can write daemons in basically any language out there.

Here is an example on how to run a Python script as a Unix daemon: http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/...emon/daemon.py
Basically it forks twice and redirects open file descriptors to /dev/
null.
On Windows, 'daemons' are called services. You can write Windows
services in Python using the Pywin32 extension. See Mark Hammond's
book for an explanation.

What's the advantage of forking twice over forking once and calling setsid?

Also, on Windows, you can get good results using srvany http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890

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. ...

Hello
I'm building a daemon in Python. It will measure and control some
physical devices on a serial bus. Since it is a daemon, it will never
terminate and I can't interfere with the regulation of the devices by
using command line parameters. I want to control the regulation by
using a Internet browser.
What is the easiest way to make my threaded Python daemon communicate
with a PHP-script running from Apache2 on localhost?

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to run a Python file under a
different user account than the one logged in. Allow me to explain.
There are a bunch of people here, they are "basic user", with limited
permissions. Basically there are locations on the network where they
can only read and execute files, but no way to write.
Now, if these users want to write or modify files and directories,

I want to write a python program and call OS specific commands in it.
So basically, instead of typing in on the command line argument I want
to have it in a python program and let it do the action.
for example. in my program I would want to call the ssh feature like
one does on the command line
ssh Admin@192.168.2.10 .....etc
How can I do this easily ?

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?

I'm trying to install a program that uses Durus on a server. It
appears that if a Python program uses eggs, it creates a
~/.python-eggs/ directory, so the home directory must be writeable.
This conflicts with server environments where you want to run a daemon
with minimum privileges. Second, it appears to use the real user ID
rather than the effective user ID to choose the home directory. In
this case I'm trying to use start-stop-daemon...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
