We’ve recently stopped building Windows services (Python or any other type) and started using the NSSM service manager. Takes a normal Windows application and runs it as a service. The NSSM service manager provides great command-line support for installing, configuring, and controlling Windows services. Has greatly reduced our development time and test time since we no longer need to test both app and service executables.
<http://www.nssm.cc> Downside is that it is a separate tool to install. Upside is that it has features such as : - run-once at startup. - auto-restart failed services - setting service dependences (don’t start until another service is up and running) - set processor dependencies —Ray On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 1:39 PM, <paul.hermeneu...@gmail.com> wrote: > It appears that python-deamon would be exactly what I need.
