Hi, what is the main difference of running a python program as a daemon or as a cronjob?
I have written a program at work that checks all internet connections of our failover sites and saves the results in a MySQL-database. The whole program is made with django (a webframework) so I had to be sure that the "checking procedure" is done every 30 minutes. I used a cronjob for that job, but I don't know if a daemon would be better...
