Twisted documentation says I can manually save my application by using the 'save' method on the Application object. That's fine if I'm creating the Application object myself, but how do I get at this object if I'm using twistd to start it? I've looked at twistd.py, but that seems to use only local variables to hold the application object. Do I have to extend twistd with a getMyApplication method? Background: This is for my work on extending twisted.names to handle DNS updates (as mentioned in an earlier post: Jan 31 2005). Each time I get an update, I want to save the application to disk.
