Running flower as a daemon

[djl197]

I am trying to run flower as a Daemon on Ubuntu.
However it wont start withy celeryd and I have knocked up an /etc/init.d script but that does not work properly either.
I am very new to this - so suspect I am being stupid - but any hints on how to get this to run when a machine starts up and be able to start/stop it as a normal service would be appreciated.

Cheers
Dan

Flower is an ordinary Tornado application and can be daemonized with the standard tools. Checkout this post http://www.charleshooper.net/blog/python-starting-tornado-apps-at-boot-using-upstart/ for details.

It would be nice if there was a sample init.d script. Even with the standard tools, there are many ways of getting it wrong. For example, the link above runs flower as root.

Here is a sample bash script that does not depend on upstart nor supervisord:
