I have written some Python code to act as a chatbot working with Slack. All looks good so far. I could add it as a service to /etc/init.d etc and make it work at startup. However...
I want to enhance the service to access my MySQL database using the Web2py DAL. Now, I created a webservice to do this - but of course when run the Apache server eventually times out and I get a 500 error. Is there a simple way of creating a permanently running service that can access models, the DAL etc? Now, in the web2py directory, I guess I could run: python -M -S myapp/controller/function But I need to add credentials to the command too? How do I do this? Assuming there's a way to provide credentials through the shell, would a permanently running service created this way cause any other issues? thanks, Paul. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
