Solved: Run Pythom Script as a daemon

[Zizico2]

Hi guys I've got a script that defines some event triggered functions. I would like it to always be running in the background.
I'm thinking of putting an infinite loop (While(True):
Pass)
at the end and running it on startup (running it on bootlocal.sh).
Will this work? And is there any better way?
Thanks in advance!

afaik there are 2 prefered methods you could use (google)
1) systemd https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... systemd.md
and
2) rc.local https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... c-local.md

Will this work without a loop at the end? Won't the script just end?

yes you will need an endless loop to encapsulate the monitoring code
