Yes, I've seen that question and site. I want to be able to control it with the service command. The technique on this site makes the script a daemon, but that does not make it controllable with service.
Assuming the first line of your script is
#!/usr/bin/env pythonand the script is executable, then you can invoke it like this:
myscript start myscript stop myscript restartIf you then place the script in /etc/init.d/, you have yourself a service. See the 'service' man page.
Thanks!
