在linux下使用$nohup命令如何?

我用它在Bluehost服务器上运行命令。

如果我错了，请指教。

使用你的系统提供的任何服务管理器——例如在Ubuntu下使用upstart。这将为您处理所有细节，如启动时启动，崩溃时重新启动等。

cron is clearly a great choice for many purposes. However it doesn't create a service or daemon as you requested in the OP. cron just runs jobs periodically (meaning the job starts and stops), and no more often than once / minute. There are issues with cron -- for example, if a prior instance of your script is still running the next time the cron schedule comes around and launches a new instance, is that OK? cron doesn't handle dependencies; it just tries to start a job when the schedule says to.

如果您发现确实需要一个守护进程(一个永不停止运行的进程)，请查看一下监控器。它提供了一种简单的方法来包装普通的、非守护进程化的脚本或程序，并使其像守护进程一样运行。这比创建本地Python守护进程好得多。

我推荐这个解决方案。您需要继承和重写方法运行。

import sys
import os
from signal import SIGTERM
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod



class Daemon(object):
    __metaclass__ = ABCMeta


    def __init__(self, pidfile):
        self._pidfile = pidfile


    @abstractmethod
    def run(self):
        pass


    def _daemonize(self):
        # decouple threads
        pid = os.fork()

        # stop first thread
        if pid > 0:
            sys.exit(0)

        # write pid into a pidfile
        with open(self._pidfile, 'w') as f:
            print >> f, os.getpid()


    def start(self):
        # if daemon is started throw an error
        if os.path.exists(self._pidfile):
            raise Exception("Daemon is already started")

        # create and switch to daemon thread
        self._daemonize()

        # run the body of the daemon
        self.run()


    def stop(self):
        # check the pidfile existing
        if os.path.exists(self._pidfile):
            # read pid from the file
            with open(self._pidfile, 'r') as f:
                pid = int(f.read().strip())

            # remove the pidfile
            os.remove(self._pidfile)

            # kill daemon
            os.kill(pid, SIGTERM)

        else:
            raise Exception("Daemon is not started")


    def restart(self):
        self.stop()
        self.start()

你有两个选择。

Make a proper cron job that calls your script. Cron is a common name for a GNU/Linux daemon that periodically launches scripts according to a schedule you set. You add your script into a crontab or place a symlink to it into a special directory and the daemon handles the job of launching it in the background. You can read more at Wikipedia. There is a variety of different cron daemons, but your GNU/Linux system should have it already installed. Use some kind of python approach (a library, for example) for your script to be able to daemonize itself. Yes, it will require a simple event loop (where your events are timer triggering, possibly, provided by sleep function).

我不建议你选择2。，因为您实际上是在重复cron功能。Linux系统范例是让多个简单工具交互并解决您的问题。除非有其他原因需要创建守护进程(除了定期触发之外)，否则选择其他方法。

此外，如果你使用daemonize进行循环并且发生了崩溃，那么没有人会在那之后检查邮件(正如Ivan Nevostruev在回答的评论中指出的那样)。而如果脚本作为cron作业添加，它将再次触发。
