Example
Writing a daemon requires creating two files, a daemon file which simply enters an infinite loop and does whatever you want it to do, and a configuration file with the same name which tells simpledaemon how to setup your daemon.
hellodaemon.py:
import simpledaemon
import logging
import time
class HelloDaemon(simpledaemon.Daemon):
default_conf = '/etc/hellodaemon.conf'
section = 'hello'
def run(self):
while True:
logging.info('The daemon says hello')
time.sleep(1)
if __name__ == '__main__':
HelloDaemon().main()
hellodaemon.conf:
[hello] pidfile = ./hellodaemon.pid logfile = ./hellodaemon.log loglevel = info
Usage
To use your new daemon, execute your script like so:
./hello.py --start
Stopping is similar:
./hello.py --stop
For a full list of options, see the help:
./hello.py --help
