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
    }
   }
