Hello everyone,
I'm starting a SocketServer.TCPServer in my program, but since I want to
report problems to script starting the program, I want to go daemon
*after* TCPServer has done binding to port.
Is this likely to cause problems? I mean, my client works when I do the
above, that is, it connects to the server. But I'm not sure if above is
the Right Thing(tm).
First:
self.server = SocketServer.TCPServer((host, port), handleclass,
bind_and_activate=False)
self.server.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
self.server.server_bind()
self.server.server_activate()
(except etc skipped for brevity)
Second:
def daemonize(self):
try:
pid = os.fork()
except OSError, e:
print 'failed to fork:', str(e)
os._exit(1)
# if pid is non-zero, we're in parent
if pid:
os._exit(0)
os.setsid()
os.chdir(globalpath)
os.umask(0)
Regards,
mk
