How to run web2py's scheduler as uwsgi's mule?

[Zbigniew Pomianowski]

Hi, I tried this apporach:

http://blog.lifeeth.in/2012/02/uwsgi-mule-magic-and-web2py-scheduler.html

My config.xml for uwsgi:

<uwsgi>

  <uid>web2py</uid>

  <gid>web2py</gid>

  <virtualenv>/home/user/webapps/web2py/env</virtualenv>

  <http>:25903</http>

  <pythonpath>/home/user/webapps/web2py/web2py</pythonpath>

  <module>wsgihandler</module>

  <socket>/tmp/web2py.sock</socket>

  <master/>

  <cheaper-algo>spare</cheaper-algo>

  <cheaper>1</cheaper>

  <workers>6</workers>

  <mule>run_scheduler.py</mule>

  <cheaper-step>1</cheaper-step>

  <cheaper-rss-limit-soft>402653184</cheaper-rss-limit-soft>

  <harakiri>30</harakiri>

  <reload-mercy>8</reload-mercy>

  <max-requests>2000</max-requests>

  <limit-as>512</limit-as>

  <buffer-size>2048</buffer-size>

  <post-buffering>1024</post-buffering>

  <reload-on-as>256</reload-on-as>

  <reload-on-rss>192</reload-on-rss>

  <memory-report/>

  <disable-logging/>

  <daemonize>uwsgi.log</daemonize>

</uwsgi>

run_scheduler.py (in web2py dir):

#!/usr/bin/env python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os

import sys

# Note the app name is hardcoded!

APPLICATION = 'myapp'

if '__file__' in globals():

    path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

    os.chdir(path)

else:

    path = os.getcwd() # Seems necessary for py2exe

sys.path = [path]+[p for p in sys.path if not p==path]

import gluon.widget

from gluon.shell import run

# Start Web2py Scheduler

if __name__ == '__main__':

    run(APPLICATION,True,True,None,False,"from gluon import current; current._scheduler.loop()")

When I run scheduler manually from a console (with venv) - it is ok. But i need to pass -p 25903. When I try a mule - it does not work.

I use webfaction server. The problem is that when I launch the scheduler from console it runs until the ssh session is active.

I don't think webfaction allows you to have a resident process active beside the web-serving one.

I think I can have a resident process. When I make a simple loop script it is executed by mule. It is strange to me I need to pass "-p 25903" to have active worker that performs the queued tasks.

[Niphlod]

if started, scheduler doesn't quit itself. Where are you needing to pass "-p 25903" ?

BTW: in that script, importing gluon.widget is superflous.
