|Package: daemon |Version: 0.6.3-1 |Description: turns other processes into daemons | There are many tasks that need to be performed to correctly set up a | daemon process. This can be tedious. Daemon performs these tasks for | other processes. This is useful for writing daemons in languages other | than C, C++ or Perl (e.g. /bin/sh, Java). | . | If you want to write daemons in languages that can link against C functions | (e.g. C, C++), see libslack which contains the core functionality of daemon. | . | Upstream URL: http://www.libslack.org/daemon/ Can daemonize do things that daemon cannot?
