Hi,<br><div><br></div><div>I'm attempting to create an ubuntu service that when started will run in the background processing beanstalk jobs.</div><div>I've taken the code from beanstalk-client twisted to act as my beanstalk client (<a href="https://github.com/dustin/beanstalk-client-twisted/blob/master/beanstalk.py" target="_blank">https://github.com/dustin/beanstalk-client-twisted/blob/master/beanstalk.py</a>)</div>
<div><br></div><div>The issue I'm having is how do I set up my service (ocapi.py) so that when the daemon (ocapi) starts it detaches from the process, which isn't' happening right now.</div><div><br></div><div>
ocapi.py (service) <--this is what should detach and I put it in /usr/sbin/ocapi.py code found at <a href="http://pastebin.com/29VnXnrm" target="_blank" style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">http://pastebin.com/29VnXnrm</a></div>
<div>ocapi (daemon) <-- goes int /etc/init.d/ocapi code found at <a href="http://pastebin.com/0QgRfTfu" target="_blank" style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">http://pastebin.com/0QgRfTfu</a></div>
