<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I came across some problem using 'twistd' utility - that I would not have expected from it. The problem is - using 'twistd' to start application that requires command-line arguments. In other words, I would expect that 'twistd' passes command-line arguments to Python application - just as Python does. <div><br></div><div>But... I get following error:</div><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Usage: twistd [options]</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Options:</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> --savestats save the Stats object rather than the text output of</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> the profiler.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> -o, --no_save do not save state on shutdown</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> -e, --encrypted The specified tap/aos/xml file is encrypted.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> .........................</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> .........................</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><b>/usr/bin/twistd: option -a not recognized</b></span></font></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>when application is started either as '<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">twistd -y <fileName.py></span></font>' or '<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">twistd --file <fileName.py></span></font>' followed by a list of command-line arguments </div><div><br></div><div>My question is: how is it possible to use 'twistd' to start applications that do require command-line arguments?
