Inetd and Xinetd are two daemons used to start network processes on demand. You can use this in uWSGI too.
127.0.0.1:3031 stream tcp wait root /usr/bin/uwsgi uwsgi -M -p 4 --wsgi-file /root/uwsgi/welcome.py --log-syslog=uwsgi
With this config you will run uWSGI on port 3031 as soon as the first
connection is made. Note: the first argument (the one soon after
/usr/bin/uwsgi) is mapped to argv[0]
. Do not forget this -- always set it
to uwsgi
if you want to be sure.
service uwsgi
{
disable = no
id = uwsgi-000
type = UNLISTED
socket_type = stream
server = /root/uwsgi/uwsgi
server_args = --chdir /root/uwsgi/ --module welcome --logto /tmp/uwsgi.log
port = 3031
bind = 127.0.0.1
user = root
wait = yes
}
Again, you do not need to specify the socket in uWSGI, as it will be passed to the server by xinetd.
