We have a python script that is currently run from cron. We want to make it into a service so it can be controlled with service start/stop/restart. Can anyone point me at site that has instructions on how to do this? I've googled but haven't found anything.
The keyword your looking for here is "daemonize".

I don't just want to make it into a daemon - I want to control it with the service command.

Try to use this http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python/ it allows you start/stop/restart the script using the following commands.
python myscript.py start python myscript.py stop python myscript.py restart

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.

Turn it into a daemon as described, then take a look at the existing scripts in /etc/init.d/. There might even be a template in there iirc. Your script will likely be a simple wrapper around your daemonized python program.
After that, just do a "chkconfig --add <myscript>“ where myscript is the name of your script in /etc/init.d. On Dec 9, 2013 7:05 AM, "Larry Martell" larry.martell@gmail.com wrote:

Assuming the first line of your script is
#!/usr/bin/env python
and the script is executable, then you can invoke it like this:
myscript start myscript stop myscript restart
If you then place the script in /etc/init.d/, you have yourself a service. See the 'service' man page.

We have a python script that is currently run from cron. We want to make it into a service so it can be controlled with service start/stop/restart. Can anyone point me at site that has instructions on how to do this? I've googled but haven't found anything.
