python-daemon

library for making a Unix daemon process — Python 2

Description

‘daemon’ is a library that assists a Python program to turn itself into a well-behaved Unix daemon process, as specified in PEP 3143.

This library provides a ‘DaemonContext’ class that manages the following important tasks for becoming a daemon process:

* Detach the process into its own process group.

* Set process environment appropriate for running inside a chroot.

* Renounce suid and sgid privileges.

* Close all open file descriptors.

* Change the working directory, uid, gid, and umask.

* Set appropriate signal handlers.

* Open new file descriptors for stdin, stdout, and stderr.

* Manage a specified PID lock file.

* Register cleanup functions for at-exit processing.

This package installs the library for Python 2.
