Daemon Control (daemonctl)
Description: A python framework and tools to manage small applications
- Technology stack: Plain python
- Status: Running in production CHANGELOG.
- When administrating alot of applications on different servers or developing alot of small services it's often desireable to keep the inhouse services seperate from system services.
Dependencies
- python >= 2.6
- setprocname: to have cleaner names in ps for the daemons (not required)
- fast-entry_points
Installation
sudo ./setup.py install
Configuration
configfile in /usr/local/etc/daemonctl.conf (or where DAEMONCTL is installed)
| Configformat: | logpath = logdir # Path to directory where log files will be placed | pidpath = piddir # Path to directory where pid files will be placed | modules { | module1 { | name = modulename # name of daemon in status and other daemonctl commands (should include %(id)s if type=dynamic) | type = moduletype # single or dynamic | path = modulepath # Path to where the files are (will do chdir to here before running command) | execcmd = commandline # Command to run (will be prefixed with path) | listcmd = listcommand # Command that returns id:s for type=dynamic, one id per row | logpath = logdir # Can override the global logpath | pidpath = piddir # Can override the global pidpath | runas = username # Run daemon as this user | } | }
