I don't know of a portable way to do this, but...<br><br>The "stopService" method that you referenced is probably not what you want. <br>It stops a twisted service object, which you should have created in your .tac file, but does not stop twistd.<br>
<br>I know diddly about how to stop and start service/daemon processes on MacOS, but on Win32, you have a lot of options:<br>- rewrite things to use pywin32's services support...this typically involves starting the reactor manually, though<br>
- there's some code in the twisted svn sandbox (look under moonfallen) that does something like this using py2exe (haven't used this though)<br>- take your twistd command line and use "instsrv" and "srvany" to make it run as a service (maybe)<br>

I'm looking for a portable way to stop and start a twisted<br>
application, specifically a twisted.web.xmlrpc server being started<br>
with a .tac file via twistd. on ubuntu i can easily use the<br>
start-stop-daemon but some other developers are using mac/windows and<br>
i was looking for a nice way for all to be able to start and stop this<br>
server as they make changes to it, aside from kill/killproc that is.<br>
<br>
I noticed that the object returned after calling internet.SSLServer<br>
server has a method called stopService, but am confused about how to<br>
use that, after starting it with twistd. Perhaps twistd is not the<br>
right approach for starting? googling around seems to bring up<br>
arguments from years past about if this behavior belongs in twisted on<br>
in the users app, but found no real solution...but may have missed the<br>
obvious.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Jeff<br>
