# core_daemon

My attempt of creating python daemon handler.
This was written with Python 3.11

## Features

- Core daemon that runs continuously and manages modules
- Interactive shell for user interaction
- Dynamic loading and unloading of modules
- Custom command execution from loaded modules
- Auto-completion for commands in the shell
- Ability to upgrade the core daemon
- Modules are loaded from an 'modules' directory

## Structure


```
dynamic-module-manager/
├── core_daemon.py
├── daemon_cli.py
├── modules/
│   ├── extra_commands.py
│   └── http_service.py
└── README.md
```

## Getting Started

1. Start the core daemon:

python3 core_daemon.py


2. In a separate terminal, start the shell:

python3 shell.py

## Usage

Once in the shell, you can use the following commands:

- `list_available`: List all available modules in the 'modules' directory
- `load <module_name>`: Load a module
- `unload <module_name>`: Unload a module
- `list`: List all currently loaded modules
- `upgrade`: Upgrade the core daemon (restarts the daemon in current implementation)
- Any custom commands provided by loaded modules

Use tab completion to see available commands and modules.

## Creating New Modules

To create a new module:

1. Create a new Python file in the 'modules' directory
2. Define your module as a class
3. Implement at least one of these functions `initialize()`, `shutdown()`, `get_commands()`

See `modules/extra_commands.py` and `modules/http_service.py` for an example of how to structure a module.


# Todo

- Maybe add ability to search for modules in directories set by a command

- Create module to add auth for the cli connections...

- Add error handling to core_daemon and daemon_cli...
