I'm hoping this is just a Python problem. I have a Python script that I got from: http://returnbooleantrue.blogspot.com/2009/01/eye-fi-standalone-server.html The script itself: http://www.darkeneddesire.com/EyeFiServer/EyeFiServer.py
It's an Eye-Fi server that, with only one small modification, works quite well on my linux machine. The problem is, when I run the script, it tells me to hit return to stop the script. I'd like this thing to run all the time, and I suspect that this "hit return" thing is preventing me from doing so. Initially I tried: python EyeFiServer.py & But apparently, as soon as I hit enter after typing exit (or any other command for that matter), the script stops. So I tried starting screen, running the same command there, then killing screen, but this appears to stop the script as well. I've also tried preappending nohup to the command, both with and without screen, with the same results. Is there some kind of simple trick to daemonizing python scripts? Or am I about to spend a lot of time learning Python? -- John D.
