Re: [Zope-dev] [PATCH] Forking daemon in debug mode, and new start scripts

I understand zdaemon is going away soon, but here's a small patch to Daemon.py to fork if it finds an EVENT_LOG_FILE.

Why do you want that? Logging to a file in the background is a useful feature. [snip -- thanks for the scripts]

The non-detaching daemon, however, is just plain annoying. On Unix you can always tail the logfile for the same effect.

I do not understand this remark. Your patch *prevents* the daemon from detaching. So you find your own patch annoying? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
