How to run this in the background? #54

Closed wnukadrian closed 5 years ago

wnukadrian commented 5 years ago

Hello,

How to run this in the background? I want to update often http websites?

"python cachet_url_monitor/scheduler.py config.yml"

I have server with Debian 9.5 Stretch.

I would recommend you using docker for this, instead of running like this. But if you really want to run it without docker, you can just execute it in the background:

python cachet_url_monitor/scheduler.py config.yml &

But how you gonna monitor the process? The moment you close the shell, the process will be killed too. You could use screen and keep the process up, but now you have to deal with servers restarts, server shutdown, etc. You can also use nohup or create a service, but now it's more effort than installing docker in your server.

@mtakaki - thanks for this. I think it solved my issue; although, I'm not sure if I'm using it right - sudo nohup python cachet_url_monitor/scheduler.py config.yml I believe this command expects an "output" file too but given that I've not specified any, it makes one automatically!

@psudoorg that looks about right, but if I were you I would just run it with docker.
