Johann: Thanks for your response. I do control these services myself, and they run on our own hosts, but they are created and spawned via an external web interface which also has a Soap API. I do not plan on starting/stopping them via this application I'm developing. I just need to get the list of servers and start polling them. I get the list by calling the Soap webservice. It simply outputs a list of servers, and it is my job to query each and every one at specific intervals for status. I was thinking I would have the Soap-query run as a timed function every few minutes, and compare the new list with the old to work out any new/removed servers. Whenever a new server is identified, I will spawn a new object to deal with it, including, but not limited to, polling at given intervals. What kind of object should this be? A ClientFactory? Another kind of object that is already defined somewhere in Twisted? A completely custom object, built from scratch? I am leaning towards ClientFactory, but I am definitely not certain. Glyph: Thanks for letting me know I'm at least asking correctly :) Cheers, Einar _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
