Best way to run python script with Xbian?

[mk01]

Yes, the best way would be to write upstart script /etc/init/my_python_script.conf

Code:

#!upstart

start on startup
stop on runlevel [06]

respawn

exec python /path/to/my/python/script.py

If it should run constantly, respawn will re-start the script if crashed (exited with return code different than 0).

If it is just task-like script (should be started - do something - and exit), remove "respawn" a put "task" instead.

It will be started with startup of XBian and depending whether it's "task" or not, it will remain running (check with "status my_python_script") or will just start, do the job and stop.

If the script is providing some output text, it can be found at /var/log/upstart/my_python_script.log .
