IWBN to have a main() function in the module to be used from the command line:

$ python -m daemon --pidfile=/var/run/mydaemon.pid status Cannot find /var/run/mydaemon.pid
Interesting. Should that be defined in this PEP, or merely added to the reference implementation as a bonus?
I think an implementation would be enough.
A note on implementation detail: IWBN if the pidfile is removed on stop(). Please do not put the burden unto the user.
Yes, that's already addressed in the defined behaviour for `stop()`.
Thank you! Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
