Description Dan Callaghan 2012-04-17 22:45:51 UTC

For consistency with beakerd, we should use python-daemon (instead of kobo.process.daemonize) in the lab controller daemons as well.

See also bug 812687.

James wrote a patch for this: http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/#/c/1399/

I will just need to double-check that everything works nicely with gevent.

The main problem that I can find with this is that we daemonise before we try to login to the scheduler, and if the login fails we do not kill the process.

If time permits I think we should change this.

I've already tried to fix it, a long time ago:

http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/824

but it's not possible due to kobo bug 753006. I believe this patch for switching to python-daemon hasn't made the situation any worse than it was before.

Sorry I forgot about that old bug. And no this doesn't make it anyworse than before.

Comment 7 Dan Callaghan 2013-01-17 04:34:22 UTC

Beaker 0.11.0 has been released.
