Module daemon
source code
Overview
Convert the calling process to a daemon. To make the current Python
process into a daemon process, you need two lines of code:
import daemon
daemon.daemonize()
If daemonize() fails for any reason, it throws an
exception. It also logs debug messages, using the standard Python
'logging' package, to channel 'daemon'.

Convert the calling process into a daemon.
- Parameters:
noClose (boolean) - If True, don't close the file descriptors. Useful if the calling
process has already redirected file descriptors to an output
file. WARNING: Only set this parameter to True if you're SURE
there are no open file descriptors to the calling terminal.
Otherwise, you'll risk having the daemon re-acquire a control
terminal, which can cause it to be killed if someone logs off
that terminal. - Raises:
