I would like to daemonize a python process, and now want to ask if it is good practice to have a daemon running, like a parent process and call another class which opens 10-30 threads.
I'm planning on writing a monitoring script for group of servers and would like to check every server every 5 mins, that each server is checked exactly 5minutes.
I would like to have it this way ( sort of speak, ps auxf style output ):
|monitor-daemon.py
\-check-server.py
\-check-server.py
....
Thank you!

The threads which are always going to run in the background that provides supports to main or non-daemon threads, those background executing threads are considered as Daemon Threads. The Daemon Thread does not block the main thread from exiting and continues to run in the background.
daemon = True will allow the main program to exit. Apps normally wait till all child threads are finished before completing. But, if you don't use join() that threads can run aline, as zombie process... so that daemon option should be used with join().
Maybe you should use http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon
