That doesn't close the underlying file descriptors... Here is another method which does :- null = os.open(os.devnull, os.O_RDWR) os.dup2(null, sys.stdin.fileno()) os.dup2(null, sys.stdout.fileno()) os.dup2(null, sys.stderr.fileno()) os.close(null) > if (not os.fork()): > # hang around till adopted by init > ppid = os.getppid() > while (ppid != 1): > time.sleep(0.5) > ppid = os.getppid() Why do you need hang around until adopted by init? I've never see that in a daemonize recipe before? > else: > # time for child to die > os._exit(0) > else: > # wait for child to die and then bail > os.wait() > sys.exit() -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
