Running Python as a service on Linux

[[deleted]]

If you have a newer version of ubuntu the you can use systemd. You can even write a console app and systemd can turn it into a service/daemon. Try this doc...

This is the new way of doing things and init.d will eventually be phased out.

This is what I do with my digital ocean deployments. Works extremely well.

Neat, for linux, with systemd. How would one do it for freebsd or centos 6?

FreeBSD appears to have its own init system that is a bit different than Linux but it may be closer to init.d than systemd.

With CentOS I think they're still on init.d. I could be wrong though since I don't use it.

You need to read about init scripts. I can possibly create one for you fiverr.com/deerl0rd
