YapDi - Yet another python Daemon implementation(github.com) |
In my case (https://github.com/shaneharter/PHP-Daemon) a project needed a way to run code on a timer every second. For more basic cases supervisord or similar is the way I'd go.
And no, I wouldn't suggest that anybody write daemons in PHP. It's one of those things that was the best of several bad options. Python is a bit better, but if I had my choice it would be in a language that had real threading.
It seems a little sad to me that Twisted is so unappreciated; it solved many current problems a long time ago, including very good deamonizing.
