isotoma.recipe.gocaptain 0.0.9

The buildout recipe

A simple example would be:

[example]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.gocaptain
daemon = /usr/bin/example
name = example
description = example daemon for that thing i did that time
pidfile = /var/tmp/example.pid
args =
    -P ${example:pidfile}
    -w /var/tmp/example.log

This will produce a script in bin/example that launches your daemon, and shuts it down again later, using the PID in the pidfile.

Calling from other code

If you wish to use this from one of your own recipes, I suggest you do something like:

from isotoma.recipe import gocaptain
gc = gocaptain.Automatic()
f = open("/path/to/script", "w")
gc.write(f, daemon="/usr/sbin/thing",
         args="-D -P /path/to/pid",
         name="my thing", description="thing")
f.close()
os.chmod(target, 0755)

The Automatic module will select the Simple or LinuxStandardBase variants, by inspecting your system (very simplisticly!).
