Hi, I have been hitting my head on a brick wall on a bit of code that refuses to work. I have similar code in other scripts that works AOK I have commented out all functionality except the core problem ...
import sys, threading, time, os.path, urllib, time, signal, ConfigParser, logger .... def main(): #logger.log('daemon starting ...', 'CRIT') #read_config() #thread1 = Thread1_PTZ() #thread1.setDaemon(True) #thread1.start() #thread2 = Thread2_PTZ_Park() #thread2.setDaemon(True) #thread2.start() #thread3 = Thread3_PTZ_Preset() #thread3.setDaemon(True) #thread3.start() while True: # sleep to keep daemons alive :) time.sleep(60 * 60 * 24) def signal_hup(signum, frame): """ SIGHUP, unlike all other daemons SIGHUP causes this daemon to exit killing all its daemon threads. This is a workaround. Because 'kmotion_ptzd' is threaded the only way to get the threads to reliably reload their config is to kill and restart else they languish in a sleep state for ? secs. args : discarded excepts : return : none """ print 'sighup :)' #logger.log('signal SIGHUP detected, shutting down due to threading', 'CRIT') #sys.exit() ... main() So main just sits there AOK. I send a sighup to the script with pkill -SIGHUP -f python.+kmotion_ptzd.py and I get ... d...@main-system:~/kmotion2/core$ ./kmotion_ptzd.py Hangup d...@main-system:~/kmotion2/core$ OK so I would have expected signal_hup to have intercepted the signal and printed 'sighup :)' and also not have exited in this case. Any ideas, I can solve most of my python probs but this one has me stumped. Cheers Dave -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
