The log can be configured to go to a file or syslog from the commandline or a custom module. Also relevant is that POX can be directed to write a pidfile. But right, there's currently no daemon mode. It shouldn't be *that* hard to add -- it's just never happened. I think there was a proposal to add easy daemoning to Python 3. I'm not sure if it ever happened, though, and I'm pretty sure it never got backported to 2.7. Ah well. -- Murphy
