<body class='hmmessage'>>>Hello,<BR>>><BR>>>How can a make a python script run in "deamon mode"? (on a linux box)<BR>>><BR>>>That is, I want to run the program via "python myfile.py" and have it drop me back to the command line. The program should continue running until I kill it via it's PID, the machine shuts >>down, or the program itself decides to shutdown. It should _not_ die when I simply log-out, etc.<BR>>> <BR>>>Is there a standard library module to help with this?<BR>>><BR>>>-- Thank you<BR> <BR>I have read through the rest of the replies for this problem and was wondering if something similar could be done in Windows (XP).<BR>Unfortunately it seems the Linux and Windows os and sys modules differ too much so the suggested approach does not work.<BR> <BR>Any help would be greatly appreciated<BR><br /><hr />Messenger on the move. <a href='http://mobile.uk.msn.com/pc/messenger.aspx ' target='_new'>Text MSN to 63463 now!</a></body>
