我写了一个Python脚本,检查一个特定的电子邮件地址,并将新的电子邮件传递给一个外部程序。如何让这个脚本全天候执行,比如在Linux中将其转换为守护进程或服务。我是否还需要一个在程序中永不结束的循环,或者可以通过多次重新执行代码来完成?


当前回答

你应该使用python-daemon库,它会处理所有的事情。

从PyPI:库实现一个行为良好的Unix守护进程。

您还可以使用shell脚本使python脚本作为服务运行。首先创建一个shell脚本,像这样运行python脚本(scriptname任意名称)

#!/bin/sh
script='/home/.. full path to script'
/usr/bin/python $script &

现在在/etc/init.d/scriptname中创建一个文件

#! /bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
DAEMON=/home/.. path to shell script scriptname created to run python script
PIDFILE=/var/run/scriptname.pid

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

case "$1" in
  start)
     log_daemon_msg "Starting feedparser"
     start_daemon -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON
     log_end_msg $?
   ;;
  stop)
     log_daemon_msg "Stopping feedparser"
     killproc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON
     PID=`ps x |grep feed | head -1 | awk '{print $1}'`
     kill -9 $PID       
     log_end_msg $?
   ;;
  force-reload|restart)
     $0 stop
     $0 start
   ;;
  status)
     status_of_proc -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON atd && exit 0 || exit $?
   ;;
 *)
   echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/atd {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}"
   exit 1
  ;;
esac

exit 0

现在可以使用/etc/init.命令启动和停止python脚本D /scriptname start or stop。

在linux下使用$nohup命令如何?

我用它在Bluehost服务器上运行命令。

如果我错了,请指教。

这是一个很好的类,从这里采取:

您可以在脚本中或像这样在另一个脚本中作为子进程运行进程

subprocess.Popen(arguments, close_fds=True, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL, stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL)

或者使用现成的工具

https://github.com/megashchik/d-handler

使用你的系统提供的任何服务管理器——例如在Ubuntu下使用upstart。这将为您处理所有细节,如启动时启动,崩溃时重新启动等。
