I'm running web2py in conjunction with a suite of other, independent,
python processes. In development I often want to 'ps' or kill the entire
suite from the command line. I've found the Python setproctitle module
really useful for prepending a common label to all the process titles.
In each process's __main__ code, I use something like the following:
from setproctitle import setproctitle, getproctitle
_proclabel = "thisapp"
if not getproctitle().startswith(_proclabel):
setproctitle(_proclabel + ' ' + getproctitle())
This puts the label at the front, so I can do things like
ps ax | grep 'thisapp'
17162 s000 S 0:00.15 thisapp processes
17163 s000 S 0:00.02 thisapp simulation_service
17164 s000 S 0:00.06 thisapp statehouse_service
17167 s000 S 0:00.08 thisapp serial_interface_service
17168 s000 S 0:00.01 thisapp email_service
17169 s000 S 0:00.05 thisapp periodic_serial_query_service
I want to also label the web2py process at startup. So far, the only way
I've found is to include the setproctitle code in an app's 0.py model file
and then have my startup script fetch the index page after web2py is up and
running.
It would be nicer to be able to put it in script that runs once as
web2py.py starts, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that without the
-R option which is recommended on for -S shell invocations of web2py.
I'd rather not hack web2py.py or one of the gluon modules. Is there a
better way?
Thanks!
