Python daemon and popen2

[Bob Swerdlow]

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. The processes are started with
popen2. I'm starting the processes with a script in /etc/rc3.d/S81btseeds.

Any suggestions? Why should it care that it is running at start-up?

Hi,

The environment is different. Check for $HOME, $PATH, umask, ...

HTH,
