azp / rsstorrent Goto Github PK

Trying to read value without checking it before

Request via mail:
Would it be possible to add an argument to rsstorrent that would force it to not loop/daemonize? I want to set it up with cron to run before/after some other torrent related crons.

I guess this is an important task for all parents ;)

My thought is that we now start several forks (children) but I'm not sure about how well they are handled. If the parent is interrupted (for instance using ctrl+c or using kill -1-9) will it also kill the children?
Is it possible to make sure that this is done?

I currently have init files for Upstart (Ubuntu) and OpenRC (Gentoo).

An init-file for systemd would be preferable as well.

Multiple search keys per rss feed are not supported. I would love to see that implemented.

Enables the use of global and local config-files without having to implement it myself.

Probably also cleans up syntax and gets rid of lots of lines of code.

Also allows me to get rid of many globals.

I've tried to do this, but have never seen it actually work. We have a signal handler for it (that sets Running to false), but I don't think it's being called right now.

Each "[siteX]" entry in the config file is read but since the variable 'sites' will be overridden every time, only the last feed entry will be monitored.

Maybe it's an idea to create a child for each 'site'?

I'm running both Python 2.7 and Python 3 on my desktop computer, why not have support for them both? Feels like a good idea.
The only issue right now is urllib2, and I hope to be able to do some sort of Python version check to solve the dependency on it.
