Thank you to those who have submitted bug reports so far. I have addressed some bugs and uploaded version 1.4.4 of ‘python-daemon’ to PyPI. Changes include: * Catch and report some OSError exceptions thrown by various steps. * Wait until later in the daemonisation process to cloase all open file descriptors. This gives a chance to see errors reported earlier in the process! * Redirect standard streams to the null device if no stream specified. Testing and feedback is still welcome, I want to knock this PEP and implementation into better shape. -- \ “I have never imputed to Nature a purpose or a goal, or | `\ anything that could be understood as anthropomorphic.” —Albert | _o__) Einstein, unsent letter, 1955 | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
