Hi all, I'm trying to daemonize a python program, and occasionally have it run subprocesses, however I'm running into a nasty error, as follows:
"File "/users/rsg/ancl/devcocast/devcocast-svn/scripts/DaemonSpawnTes t.py", line 5, in <module> subprocess.Popen('echo 1').wait() File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 594, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1089, in _execute_ch ild os.waitpid(self.pid, 0) OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes" The minimal testcase showing this problem is as follows: "import daemon import subprocess daemon.DaemonContext(stderr = open("fakeConsole.txt","w+")).open() subprocess.Popen('echo 1').wait()" So there is no threading going on (I've found some bugs relating to subprocess and threading). I'm using Fedora 10, Python 2.5.2, and python-daemon 1.4.6 from here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/ . If anyone can shed some light on the situation, I'd be extremely grateful!
