I suggest not using the Daemons gem at all.  Here's a hello-world
eventmachine daemon running via the DJ convention in your Rakefile:

task 'jobs:work' do
  require 'eventmachine'
  EM.run do
    EM.add_periodic_timer(1) do
      puts "Tick! #{Time.now}"
    end
  end
end

Dustin Sallings, one of the authors of memcached, put it beautifully
when he said: "Self-daemonizing programs start you down the path to
hell.".  See:
