PyDaemon

• Python 3.7+
• Uses standard library
• Not meant for production...

Usage

If running directly via the command line, overwrite the app function to whatever your daemon needs to run.

python3 pydaemon.py -pidfile /tmp/test.pid -action start

python3 xtx.py -pidfile /tmp/test.pid -action stop

You can also import it as a module and specify your own app function:

import pydaemon
import time

def my_function(n):
    with open("/tmp/example.txt", "w") as f:
        for i in range(n):
            f.write(f"{i}\n")
            time.sleep(1)
            
pydaemon.main("/tmp/pidfile.pid", 20, action="start", app=my_function)
