Sometimes, we want to create a daemon in Python.
In this article, we’ll look at how to create a daemon in Python.
How to create a daemon in Python?
To create a daemon in Python, we can use the python-daemon library.
To install it, we run
pip install python-daemon
Then we can use it by writing
import time
from daemon import runner
class App():
def __init__(self):
self.stdin_path = '/dev/null'
self.stdout_path = '/dev/tty'
self.stderr_path = '/dev/tty'
self.pidfile_path = '/tmp/foo.pid'
self.pidfile_timeout = 5
def run(self):
while True:
print("hello world")
time.sleep(10)
app = App()
daemon_runner = runner.DaemonRunner(app)
daemon_runner.do_action()
to create a runner.DaemonRunner class with app to start the daemon with app.
And then we call do_axction to call the app‘s run method.
