Hello,
Sorry for the obscure title, but I can't make short to explain what I'm
searching for. :)
I made an app (kind of proxy) that works without UI within it's process. So
far, so good.
Now I need to change "live" some controls of this application, without stopping
it.
So my app will be split in two :
* A control app (say "appctl") for a console UI
* A daemon (or agent ?) that runs the core of the app (say "appd"), processing
inputs and outputs
What are the best practices to do this ? Examples in a well known Pyhon app I
could hack ? Is it possible with standard packages only ?
Thanks in advance fo any pointer.
You can have a look at Circus - https://circus.readthedocs.org which is
a process manager.
"circusctl" is used to control "circusd" using ZeroMQ
The nice thing about zmq as opposed to signals is that you can code your
thing independantly from the transport
then choose which transport fits a situation: TPC (then the ctl can be
on another box), IPC or even ITC
That also means your ctl part can be portable to any platform
