[dundee] A Python got me by the Neck...

[Lee Hughes]

Thanks for all your support on this..

all the answer were top notch!! 

but, it was the *ORDER* I was starting my scripts, it seems that th python script was connecting to a server process, that was being run *AFTER* the python script...ala..crash!!

silly me!!!

On my rearch I bumped into http://upstart.ubuntu.com/

which seems a nice modern init replacement...

anyone had a play..they say you can boot faster..but hey..who reboots linux!!

:-)

oh miss the meeting tonight, hope you had a good one..I'll be there next time!



Laters,
Lee

To catch the output from the python script you can wrap it in a shell
script that redirect stdout and stderr to a file, i.e. move the python
script out of /etc/init* and replace it with something like:

 #!/bin/sh

 /path/to/python/script &>/path/to/log/file

People who think they know what they are doing are especially annoying
