I wrote a simple python program that scrapes a web page every 30 secons and dumps the result in a data base. I want to use my linux distros build in init tools to run the script in the back ground as a daemon. The problem is when I call the daemon script to background the program I wrote it just hangs, waiting for my program to exit 1 or 0. My program never does exits because its looping every 30 seconds.
Is there a way I can pass an exit value with out actualy exiting? or is there are better way to do this? Thanks -- Matthew Thorley -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
