Hello, I have an ongoing background task for processing my database. I want this task to automatically start when I run my app somewhere (can assume it is a Linux box), and to restart if it somehow dies.
This is my current thinking, which I would appreciate feedback on: - Define a task table, which is checked on every request - If the task table is empty then start the background task with subprocess and store the pid in the task table - If the task table has an entry but its pid is not active (not in / proc) then restart the background task and update the pid - Else the task is running fine This is a low bandwidth site so efficiency is not important. But the above strategy seems cumbersome - is there a better way? thanks, Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
