Hi there
I need to launch a python script during system startup, and the script will run "forever". I was thinking about launching it from /etc/rc.local but there's a comment in there saying be sure to end the script with "exit 0".... I'm assuming the implication is that some other process is waiting for this script to finish fairly quickly and thus it would be a bad place to launch my script. Is this right?

So the question becomes: how/where to launch this script automatically?

Also, the script writes regularly to stdout, and I need to be able to peek at its output as needed, so it shouldn't be run in some way that it's output is lost. (redirecting it to a file, etc would be okay)

Any ideas would be a great help.
Thanks!
Michael
