Automatic daemonization and monitoring? This sounds like exactly what I'm after. I've been calling twisted like so for a project: explicitly setting the process id, logger and source file here. And relying on a separate cron script to check if all is well: twistd --pidfile=$PIDFILE --syslog --prefix=program_name --python program_name.py Would using a .tac file make some of these flags redundant? All I could found about .tac files is here - http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/application.html Are there any other resources where I can found out about the advantages of using .tac files instead the way I've bee doing stuff? -- --- I'm currently only checking my email at 9am, midday and at 4pm.
