|---|---|---|
| SpamapS | bencc: upstart allows you to coordinate the start/stop with other events | 06:42 |
| SpamapS | bencc: it does end up replacing the need for pid/lock files, but thats only a small subset | 06:43 |
| bencc | SpamapS: I understand that python-daemon is only a small subset of upstart | 13:05 |
| bencc | I'm asking if I'm using upstart to monitor a long-living process, do I still need python-daemon or not | 13:06 |
| jodh | bencc: python-daemon has *nothing* to do with Upstart. If your python script runs on the command-line, it should work as a job. If it forks, Upstart will need to know about it though. See http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#precepts-for-creating-a-job-configuration-file, and particularly http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#expect | 13:59 |
| bencc | jodh: can you explain what python-daemon does that upstart doesn't? | 14:10 |
| jodh | bencc: I have zero knowledge of python-daemon - it's nothing to do with upstart. This channel is for discussing Upstart, not python. | 14:11 |
