Ha, almost definitely ;-) But in my particular use cases, it doesn't often matter. For example, I usually like to deploy production servers under non-privileged accounts using authbind, which means that I'll usually need to make some kind of init script. Of course, these days I hardly ever write anything that *doesn't* launch at startup, and my command-line options are almost always 'server-specific' instead of 'job-specific'. Consequently most of my CLI options can just be set once for each machine and generally forgotten about, so I'm not really a good candidate to judge the importance of an enhanced twistd API... -phil _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
