Re: [CentOS] making a script into a service
Turn it into a daemon as described, then take a look at the existing scripts in /etc/init.d/. There might even be a template in there iirc. Your script will likely be a simple wrapper around your daemonized python program. After that, just do a chkconfig --add myscript“ where myscript is the name of your script in /etc/init.d.

Assuming the first line of your script is #!/usr/bin/env python and the script is executable, then you can invoke it like this: myscript start myscript stop myscript restart If you then place the script in /etc/init.d/, you have yourself a service.
