This (or something like it) looks like a useful addition.

I remember writing a much more elaborate version for Zope: http://cvs.zope.org/Zope/lib/python/zdaemon/ (Ignore Daemon.py, which is the old Zope API for the same thing.)

I have something somewhat similar in mailman (although with lots of extra goo):

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/bin/mailmanctl?view=markup

Still, something like this would be a nice addition to the standard library. Save's having to read Stevens APitUE Ch. 13. .
