Ubuntu init script will not start if a different python daemon is already running #2

The Ubuntu init script will not start if a different python daemon is already running

root@revo:/usr/local/bin/airplayer# /etc/init.d/airplayer start Starting airplayer: /usr/bin/python already running. airplayer

The solution is to make airplayer.py executable and change COMMAND in the init script to just

COMMAND="$DAEMON"

Yes that was my initial thought, but I wanted to be able to run airplayer from within virtualenv. But this way that obviously doesn't work, I'll fix it.

It's fixed. If you want to run airplayer from within a virtualenv you'll just have to wrap it up in a bash script or something. If anyone knows a more decent way to run a python script inside a virtualenv as a daemon please let me know (no changing of the she-bang please).
