Example

import undead
from logbook import SyslogHandler

undead.name = "Tangina Barrons"
undead.pid = "/var/log/tangina.pid"
undead.working_dir = "/var/www"
undead.log_level = "ERROR"
undead.log_handler = SyslogHandler("My Daemon", level="ERROR")

@undead
def my_daemon_process():
    """ This function will be daemonized. """
    # ...

Logging within the decorated handler

Just add log to your decorateds signature, and the logger will be passed down. Log away captain!

import undead

@undead
def i_am_undead(log):
    log.warning("I'm warning you!")
    log.info("Soap, 2 for $1.99")

Since we didn’t specify a undead.log_handler the logfile will be created by default in ~/.i_am_undead
