I have a server that right now runs infinitely. I'd like to make it
die after some amount of time. I was thinking of having a timebomb
thread that starts when the server starts. The timebomb sits, and
sleeps for the specified timeout period (e.g., 5 hours), then does
something to make the main thread terminate. But I'm too inexperienced
to figure out what that thing is.
Any suggestions?
class TimeBomb( threading.Thread ):
def run(self):
timeout = 5 * 60 * 60 #-- 3 hours
time.sleep( timeout )
MakeTheRestOfTheStuffDie()
class MyServer:
def __init__(self):
TimeBomb().run()
serve()
