""" class DaemonProcessDetachError(DaemonError, OSError): """ Exception raised when process detach fails. """ class DaemonContext(object): """ Context for turning the current program into a daemon process. A `DaemonContext` instance represents the behaviour settings and process context for the program when it becomes a daemon. The behaviour and environment is customised by setting options on the instance, before calling the `open` method. Each option can be passed as a keyword argument to the `DaemonContext` constructor, or subsequently altered by assigning to an attribute on the instance at any time prior to calling `open`. That is, for options named `wibble` and `wubble`, the following invocation:: foo = daemon.DaemonContext(wibble=bar, wubble=baz) foo.open() is equivalent to:: foo = daemon.DaemonContext() foo.wibble = bar foo.wubble = baz foo.open() The following options are defined. `files_preserve` :Default: ``None`` List of files that should *not* be closed when starting the daemon. If ``None``, all open file descriptors will be closed. Elements of the list are file descriptors (as returned by a file object's `fileno()` method) or Python `file` objects. Each specifies a file that is not to be closed during daemon start. `chroot_directory` :Default: ``None`` Full path to a directory to set as the effective root directory of the process. If ``None``, specifies that the root directory is not to be changed. `working_directory` :Default: ``'/'`` Full path of the working directory to which the process should change on daemon start. Since a filesystem cannot be unmounted if a process has its current working directory on that filesystem, this should either be left at default or set to a directory that is a sensible “home directory” for the daemon while it is running. `umask` :Default: ``0`` File access creation mask (“umask”) to set for the process on daemon start. Since a process inherits its umask from its parent process, starting the daemon will reset the umask to this value so that files are created by the daemon with access modes as it expects. `pidfile` :Default: ``None`` Context manager for a PID lock file. When the daemon context opens and closes, it enters and exits the `pidfile` context manager. `detach_process` :Default: ``None`` If ``True``, detach the process context when opening the daemon context; if ``False``, do not detach. If unspecified (``None``) during initialisation of the instance, this will be set to ``True`` by default, and ``False`` only if detaching the process is determined to be redundant; for example, in the case when the process was started by `init`, by `initd`, or by `inetd`. `signal_map` :Default: system-dependent Mapping from operating system signals to callback actions. The mapping is used when the daemon context opens, and determines the action for each signal's signal handler: * A value of ``None`` will ignore the signal (by setting the signal action to ``signal.SIG_IGN``). * A string value will be used as the name of an attribute on the ``DaemonContext`` instance. The attribute's value will be used as the action for the signal handler. * Any other value will be used as the action for the signal handler. See the ``signal.signal`` documentation for details of the signal handler interface. The default value depends on which signals are defined on the running system. Each item from the list below whose signal is actually defined in the ``signal`` module will appear in the default map: * ``signal.SIGTTIN``: ``None`` * ``signal.SIGTTOU``: ``None`` * ``signal.SIGTSTP``: ``None`` * ``signal.SIGTERM``: ``'terminate'`` Depending on how the program will interact with its child processes, it may need to specify a signal map that includes the ``signal.SIGCHLD`` signal (received when a child process exits). See the specific operating system's documentation for more detail on how to determine what circumstances dictate the need for signal handlers. `uid` :Default: ``os.getuid()`` `gid` :Default: ``os.getgid()`` The user ID (“UID”) value and group ID (“GID”) value to switch the process to on daemon start. The default values, the real UID and GID of the process, will relinquish any effective privilege elevation inherited by the process. `prevent_core` :Default: ``True`` If true, prevents the generation of core files, in order to avoid leaking sensitive information from daemons run as `root`. `stdin` :Default: ``None`` `stdout` :Default: ``None`` `stderr` :Default: ``None`` Each of `stdin`, `stdout`, and `stderr` is a file-like object which will be used as the new file for the standard I/O stream `sys.stdin`, `sys.stdout`, and `sys.stderr` respectively. The file should therefore be open, with a minimum of mode 'r' in the case of `stdin`, and mode 'w+' in the case of `stdout` and `stderr`. If the object has a `fileno()` method that returns a file descriptor, the corresponding file will be excluded from being closed during daemon start (that is, it will be treated as though it were listed in `files_preserve`). If ``None``, the corresponding system stream is re-bound to the file named by `os.devnull`.
