my script is a server that listens to clients requests and send responses. It handles requests by threading:
class Server: def __init__(self): self.host = '' self.port = 50000 self.backlog = 5 self.size = 1024 self.server = None self.threads = [] def open_socket(self): try: self.server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) self.server.bind((self.host,self.port)) self.server.listen(5) except socket.error, (value,message): if self.server: self.server.close() print "Could not open socket: " + message sys.exit(1) def run(self): self.open_socket() input = [self.server,sys.stdin] running = 1 while running: inputready,outputready,exceptready = select.select(input,[],[]) for s in inputready: if s == self.server: # handle the server socket c = Client(self.server.accept()) c.start() self.threads.append(c) elif s == sys.stdin: # handle standard input junk = sys.stdin.readline() running = 0 # close all threads self.server.close() for c in self.threads: c.join() class Client(threading.Thread): def __init__(self,(client,address)): threading.Thread.__init__(self) self.client = client self.address = address self.size = 1024 def run(self): running = 1 while running: data = self.client.recv(self.size) if data: data2 = data.split() if data2[0] == 'Hello': status = 'Hello' #fetch from database users by location reply= '6' if data2[0] == 'Index': status = 'Index' #fetch from database users by location reply='I' db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", # your host, usually localhost user="root", # your username passwd="Rambo_9134", # your password db="secure_login") # name of the data base # you must create a Cursor object. It will let # you execute all the queries you need cur = db.cursor() # Use all the SQL you like cur.execute("SELECT ml.member,m.username FROM locations l JOIN memberlocation ml ON(l.id = ml.location) JOIN members m ON(m.id = ml.member) where l.id = 1;") # print all the first cell of all the rows data = [] for row in cur.fetchall() : print row[1] data.append({row[0]:row[1]}) print 'JSON', json.dumps(data) reply = data self.client.send(json.dumps(reply)) else: self.client.close() running = 0 if __name__ == "__main__": s = Server() s.run() this script runs perfectly but it stops when i press enter. I have tried many alternatives: deamon, nohup, ... i couldn't make it run as a service in the background. i think this is a programming issue
how can i make this script run in the background as a service ?
