service 0.1.1

Easy implementation of Unix background services.

This module makes it easy to write Unix services, i.e. background processes (“daemons”) that are controlled by a foreground application (e.g. a console script).

The package is built around the python-daemon module, which provides the means for creating well-behaved daemon processes. The service package adds a control infrastructure for easily starting, stopping, querying and killing the background process from a foreground application.
