Hi I would try zdaemon script, http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zdaemon/2.0.4 I use it to turn my python scripts into services on Linux and like the comfort of
1. creation of start/stop/status/showrelog/restart script in just a few lines 2. direct command like "mydeamonizedscript start" 3. interactive console to do all the actions 4. option to check content of the running log file. For your use case, I would check, what is returned result code and set zdaemon so that it does not restart the script, if it returns expected status code. for more, see http://ridingpython.blogspot.com/2011/08/turning-your-python-script-into-linux.html Jan *Ing.
