Package: python-daemon
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: normal
Hi there,
When running a simple test program like the below, if the user does not have
permissions on the pidfile /var/run/mydaemon.pid, the program will terminate
with a status code of 0, and print no messages to the console. However, it
will fail to daemonize, and will not execute the code in do_stuff() at all.
import daemon
import daemon.pidlockfile
import time
def do_stuff():
while True:
print "Sleeping"
time.sleep(1)
with daemon.DaemonContext(
pidfile=daemon.pidlockfile.PIDLockFile("/var/run/mydaemon.pid")
):
do_stuff()
I am not sure if this is a bug, or is simply an unavoidable consequence of some
aspect of the process model.
Cheers,
Dave
