I'm working on writing a small wrapper for the notebook, which is essentially a single-tab browser. I basically have it working so that I can do
jupyter notebook --browser="my_wrapper" and it launches in my little wrapper. The only problem is that the notebook server remains running in a console window and has to be manually closed with Ctrl-C. What I would like is the ability to start a notebook server that would automatically shut down once the associated browser is closed. Looking at old messages on the list, I get the impression this isn't possible. Is that correct? It seems like it would be possible to implement this by having JavaScript in the notebook page send keepalive messages back to the server. These would serve as a sort of "dead man's switch" --- as long as the page remained open, the server would remain alive, but when the browser (or tab in a multi-tab browser) was closed, the cessation of keepalive messages would tell the server to shut itself down. Is this feasible? Failing that, I've also been looking for documentation on how to programmatically start the notebook server. That is, supposing I'm running some Python code, how can I, from within that code, do the equivalent of "jupyter notebook --no-browser", and get the login token returned as a string so that I can redirect my wrapper to the appropriate URL? Right now the only way I can see is to actually run jupyter using subprocess and parse the output, but that seems rather awkward. Is there a part of the notebook that I can import as a module and do something like "server = notebook.start_server()" and then "token = server.token"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
