I don't recommend this (ubiquitous) technique. You should keep your daemon in the foreground until it has reserved and initialized all the resources it needs and daemonize only then. That way the caller does not have to guess when the service is really available. The proper daemonization procedure is here: <URL: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/66012-fork-a-dae mon-process-on-unix/> Now, with the new systemd standard, there is a way for you to inform the system when a service is up even after backgrounding. I have no personal experience with that technique. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
