# Daemon Control (daemonctl)

**Description**: A python framework and tools to manage small applications

- **Technology stack**: Plain python
- **Status**: Running in production [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md).
- When administrating alot of applications on different servers or developing alot of small services it's often desireable to keep the inhouse services seperate from system services.


## Dependencies

- python >= 2.6
- setprocname: to have cleaner names in ps for the daemons (not required)

## Installation

sudo ./setup.py install

## Configuration

configfile in /usr/local/etc/daemonctl.conf (or where DAEMONCTL is installed)

Configformat:
```
logpath = logdir # Path to directory where log files will be placed
pidpath = piddir # Path to directory where pid files will be placed
modules {
module1 {
name = modulename # name of daemon in status and other daemonctl commands (should include %(id)s if type=dynamic)
type = moduletype # single or dynamic
path = modulepath # Path to where the files are (will do chdir to here before running command)
execcmd = commandline # Command to run (will be prefixed with path)
listcmd = listcommand # Command that returns id:s for type=dynamic, one id per row
logpath = logdir # Can override the global logpath
pidpath = piddir # Can override the global pidpath
runas = username # Run daemon as this user
}
}
```
